As long as there have been men and women on this planet, there has been violence. This is an immutable fact. In all likelihood, there will always be violence within the human race. Robert Heinlein said: "Violence, naked force, has solved more problems in history than any other factor, and opinion to the contrary is wishful thinking at its worst. Nations and peoples who forget this fundamental truth have always paid for this with their life and with their life". freedom." Indeed this is plausible. The premise of these arguments is that giving a creature with a proven track record of violence an extraordinarily powerful tool of destruction is unwise. Alternatively, this paper proposes limiting access to such devices powerful (semi-automatic firearms) through the use of tracking methods, limited sales, and heavier penalties for illegal firearm possession most specifically addressed are semi-automatic weapons, including repeating rifles and guns The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution (in the Bill of Rights) specifically guarantees US citizens the right to keep and bear arms fires of our ancestors were not as powerful as those we face today. Black powder rifles have a repetition rate of approximately one shot every 45 seconds. They are deadly, indeed, but not as lethal as a semi-automatic bolt-action pistol with a 17-round clip that can pump 17 rounds into another human being's chest in a matter of seconds. Arguably, these modern weapons have more power than a human should be able to handle. The power that a firearm gives a man is, under certain circumstances, the ultimate power. The argument here is not to... halfway through the document... jeopardize his life." In fact this document does not advocate the complete removal of all firearms, but only the selective restriction of certain models extra powerful American citizens should be allowed to hunt and protect themselves from wild animals or intruders. For these purposes simple repeating rifles and/or black powder models are probably sufficient. Our children deserve a future in which the threat of their peers enters the their school with semi-automatic weapons and firing hundreds of rounds at their peers is almost non-existent Indeed there will always be evil among us and they could use these simple permitted weapons for evil, but the extent of that harm would be much less May ours. future contain many great freedoms for all and may reasonable limits be imposed that protect the freedom of all men to pursue happiness by living without fear.
