Michael Moore Just Laid Out A Brilliant Plan To Fix Our Mass Shooting Problem
Moore wants passage of the 28th amendment, which would void and replace what he calls the “outdated” 2nd amendment, that was passed “before bullets and revolvers were even invented.”
Moore’s plan is designed to protect society while still maintaining state and federal military operation and law enforcement while allowing sports hunting, the use of guns to gather food and under certain restrictions, guns in the home for self-defense.Here is a summary of the key points in Moore’s proposal:“As over 90 percent of gun violence is committed by men, in order for a man to purchase a gun, he must first get a waiver from his current wife, plus his most recent ex-wife, or any woman with whom he is currently in a relationship (if he’s gay, he must get the waiver from his male spouse/partner). This law has greatly reduced most spousal/domestic gun murders in Canada.”
“All automatic and semi-automatic guns are banned.”
“No gun or clip can hold more than six bullets.”
“To activate a gun for it to be used, the trigger must recognize the fingerprint of its registered owner,” which would eliminate crimes with stolen guns.
Guns must be stored at a licensed gun club or a government-regulated facility. Moore writes that only four-tenths of one percent of people die from home invasion gun murders, while a third of them are killed by their own weapon (sometimes because a criminal has wrestled it away from them). This would also address accidental shootings of children in the home.
Every gun owner must have a license which can be obtained only after completion of a gun training and safety course and a thorough background check.
“As nearly half of all gun deaths are suicides, mental health care must become a top national health priority and must be properly funded.”
“Current restrictions placed on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), due to successful lobbying by the NRA, have prohibited them from studying gun violence epidemic in the U.S….Science will then be free to find out why we are ALONE among nations in killing each other at such a massive rate (hint: It’s not just the guns – it’s us as Americans).
Moore understands many Americans first reaction will be this is going to be impossible, so he offers up these facts:
“We are not a country of gun nuts. 77 percent of all Americans do NOT own a gun!” So that majority can also decide “they have no need for an archaic amendment that allows retired accountants to own 47 assault weapons. LET’S ORGANIZE THE 77 PERCENT!”
Moore points out that when President Obama tried to get Congress to pass “simple, common sense gun control legislation after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary (in 2012), polls show 90 percent of the country backed him! But the NRA beat him. LET’S ORGANIZE THE 90 PERCENT!”http://verifiedpolitics.com/michael-moore-just-laid-brilliant-plan-fix-mass-shoo...
