District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), the Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm, unconnected to service in a militia and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home within many longstanding prohibitions and restrictions on firearms possession listed by the Court as being consistent with the Second Amendment.

Is the 2 nd Amendment Still Relevant?

Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. From Blackstone through the 19th-century cases, commentators and courts routinely explained that the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose. Judge Scalia, Supreme Court Justice

As defined in senators Dianne Feinstein proposed ban a assault weapon is a semi-automatic firearm with a detachable magazine and one additional feature, such as a pistol grip, a folding or telescoping stock, a barrel shroud or threaded barrel, or a grenade launcher or rocket launcher. Also defined as assault weapons would be all semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can hold more than ten rounds of ammunition, semiautomatic shotguns with one additional feature and a fixed magazine that can hold more than five rounds, and semiautomatic shotguns with a rotating cylinder. The bill also specifically names 157 models of firearms as assault weapons.

The NRA has places pressure on the senate oversight committee that governs the staffing of the ATF to include the agency's director. The last full time director was Carl Truscott in all other directors have been “acting” directors only. The ATF has no enforcing authority to force states to share, or establish tracking databases. The ATF is federal limited to a maximum of 5000 employees. Only the ATF and similar state agency have the authority to enforce waiting periods. The ATF does not even have the authority to impose fines.

W hile the right to bare arms is constructionally protected, the amount and type of ammunition available is not. With out violating the construction the government could immediately by direction of executive order if necessary. 1. limited the amount of ammunition a person can perchance in a 30 day time period to one box of ammunition per registered firearm in a home. 2. Make illegal all military type ammunition (7.62, 5.56, 50.calaber) 3.Subsidize ammunition manufactures the same way we subsidize farmers not to grow corps. In this case we will subsidies the ammunition manufacture to keep the amount to ammunition in circulation stagnate. Letting the amount of rounds available to the public dwindle. 4.mandate that all ammunition produced or sold in American have individual laser engraved batch codes on the base of each round. This batch code would be tied to the store it was purchased at and the traceable to the person that purchased them.

Is this the answer? Research shows that those turning in guns at buyback events are not those who use guns to commit crimes.

In less than 0.9% of these incidents is the gun ever actually fired! Gary Kleck, Criminologist, Florida State University FACT: Every year, people in the United States use a gun to defend themselves against criminals an estimated 2,500,000 times, more than 6,500 people per day, or once every 13 seconds! Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, Fall 1995 Each year firearms are used 65 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) was established in 1871 to “promote and encourage” shooting rifles with an emphasis on science.
