So here we are again. The never ending debate that in my opinion has multiple simple solutions but for some reason, no one in power and some working people don't have the balls to move forward with these solutions because they are bought or because they are mentally retarded. Here are my top three solutions that should've been done immediately after columbine. The first solutions is to ban bump stocks. What bump stocks do is using the recoil of a semi-automatic firearm to fire shots in rapid succession, which simulates the ability of a fully automatic firearm. I think it is obvious why it should be banned. The second solution is banning any and all assault rifles. These weapons are not for hunting deer, they are for taking the lives of our own kind. There is no reason for weapons like these to be in civilian possession, period. The third solution that we need to see is universal background checks on the FEDERAL level. I think that this is the biggest thing that could put a halt on mass shootings in the U.S. Right now there is a deadly loophole that exempts unlicensed sellers from having to perform ANY background check whatsoever. With UBCs, we can close these loopholes for good and end all exemptions on unlicensed sellers. In my observation, the second amendment says that if you are a member of a WELL REGULATED militia, you may have the right to own a weapon. A well regulated militia is the National Guard or the Marine Reserve. These are my opinions on why we need updated gun laws to halt mass shootings in the states, it may not be full proof, but it can have the potential to drastically lower gun homicide rates in the U.S. The country with the highest mortality rate from firearms.
