To all the supporters of the Second Amendment: Have you read it?
“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.”
Wonderful. Join the National Guard, police auxiliary, etc. I don't hear any of the Second-Amendment-rights group talking about the “well-regulated” caveat, just about how many guns can be flooded into society. The NRA is actively fighting the well-regulated requirement and stress the weapons are needed for protection against their own government.
If you want to have bump stocks, have them registered and for rent at properly designed and regulated facilities under adult supervision with medical staff standing by. It is required to pass a competency test and carry insurance for damages to drive a vehicle. Firearms are more dangerous and less useful to the general population; why not require testing, registration and insurance on them?

I am sick of the Second and First amendments being used to defend those who recognize no higher power than automatic rifles and vast quantities of explosives, ie. ISIS, the Taliban, Boko Haram, Al Qaida, the Trump Evangelicals and the NRA.
Per 69 News, Sanctuary Church in Newfoundland is part of the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary and had a gun blessing Wednesday.
If you want to read the soul of a person, watch how they treat those weaker than themselves and their image of God.
