Quote:You didn't answer my question. What about this executive order destroys the 2nd Amendment? You say being PC won't solve the problem, but propose something completely unconstitutional instead. Plenty of people are killed by people who are not poor. I don't think gun violence is magically disappearing. But the uptick in mass shootings is undeniable. And ignoring the mental health of these people so you can find a scapegoat in poor people is ridiculous.

 

Doctors are now obligated to report patients who may have a mental illness, such as PTSD or depression, to the FBI (VERY subjective). The FBI can then condemn the individual to a no-buy list, thus restricting their rights to own arms, and in doing so shattering their second amendment right. The executive order also calls for research into smart gun technology, in which certain technologies can disable the use of your weapons through remote systems, denying you the use of your weapon, and also shattering your second amendment right. This is unconstitutional. My solution is at least has legal precedence with the use of a warrant.

 

What does plenty mean? Give me statistics. Your "uptick" is still less than 1% of total gun crime.

 

Lets take my solution a step further. The large majority of gun crime is not only performed by the poor, but also by young, black males. This is a statistical FACT. This narrows the warrant down to lets say 3% of the population. Narrow that down further to the top 10 largest cities ghetto's and public housing projects, and you are talking about 1%, probably much less. This may be politically incorrect, but looking at the statistics, this seems like the most efficient way to go about things.

 

But instead, you would rather restrict guns to potentially 330 million people, 99% law abiding, rather than perform a legal search for illegal weapons on less than 1% of the population? You, good sir, are the true tyrant.
