A Historic Surge in Gun Violence Compounds the Traumas of 2020

In over a dozen cities, homicides rose by 50 percent or more this year. “It’s very likely that these increases are larger than any on record,” said one criminologist.

The Second Amendment is way past due for a re-write to clear up the nonsense that it allows concealed or open carry in the public venue, or that everyone (regardless of documented violent behavior) is entitled to own a gun, or that government can not legislate the ownership and use of a gun in the public interest just like any other dangerous product.

The only idiots that champion and scream for the policies stated above are those that definitely should not be allowed to own guns: "proud" boys, racists, homophobes, drug and alcohol abusers, wife abusers, and card-carrying, KKK right-wing terrorists.
