These days, unless you visit the Amish or the Mennonites, you won’t see to many horse-drawn buggies around. You’ll see Ram or Tacoma trucks, Porsche, Chevy or a few Tesla. You don’t see many fax machines, mini-cassettes or Kodachrome film either. Simply put times change and with it, culture evolves.
This brings to what is unthinkable to a mass of well-behaved and patriotic Americans: The Second Amendment, as we knew it has run its course and it’s time to update our outmoded culture. For those who don’t know it yet, the American Second Amendment is the right to bear arms: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
The problem of course is that half of our Congress is stuck in conservatism that belong to the past and barely seems to tolerate the invention of the wheel when one listens to them. Just like the LGBT discussion, arm control and assault weapon abolition will take time but we might eventually get there.
The first thing that need to be introduced is the concept of desacralisation of firearms that kill more American citizens than the automobile and drugs in general. We are still far from that and what we need is to start chipping away at these uncivilized concept of flooding a country with lethal weapon as this has been the case until now...
