A Crime Bill To Heal A Nation

In the wake of so many horrific carnages that have become almost a weekly occurrence it is now necessary to implement this crime bill to eradicate the senseless tragedies that have griped this nation for far too long. To achieve this requires a national commitment from the NRA, gun owners and every citizen to understand that semi and fully automatic assault weapons have no place in American society. This is by no means an infringement on the 2nd Amendment but a national awakening that for far too long we have allowed the use of these weapons to commit atrocities that should have never occurred.  Yet if we continue on this state of denial another tragedy such as this most recent one in Texas will occur again and again. 

The sale of semi and fully automatic weapons is now prohibited, No longer will the American citizen be able to purchase any sort or caliber of semi and fully automatic weapons. A buy back initiative from local law enforcement for those who already own such weapons will help eliminating these weapons from falling into the wrong hands. Furthermore, gun owners will now be required to register their weapons into a national data base stating date of purchase, address, where they are kept, and pay a yearly registration fee of $1000 for each automatic or semi-automatic and assault type weapon.

To further promote safe gum ownership all gun owners, sales of non-semi or automatic guns or rifles will require microchip technology to be either worn or implanted int the palm of the hand of those who purchase any sort or type of non-semi or automatic weapons. For existing gun owners, you are now required to reregister you weapons and have a microchip for the sole purpose that only registered gun owners with a matching microchip will be the only one capable of using that weapon.

Today, we have to understand what the 2nd Amendment actually implies. It states a well-armed Militia and today that is the state’s National Guard. With so much going on in the world the American citizen does have a right to own a gun or rifle but not the right to acquire semi-automatic and assault weapons that are designed for one purpose only. We have to eradicate from society the temptation of some to acquire semi-automatic and automatic assault weapons to commit the atrocities that have taken so many lives.

Implementation of this crime bill is a major first step in reducing the likelihood of another senseless act of mayhem from ever happening we will save lives. And for the moment this is what really matters when this crime bill is implemented. And now when Congress is still unwilling to enact a crime bill to stem the tide of rising atrocities across this country shows how one dimensional their mind set really is.

When countless acts of wonton mayhem still occurs of the magnitude of this latest school shooting in Texas one dimensional thinking just won’t cut it. There are ways to avoid such tragedies now and in the future, but it takes into account many facets of our society and economy. First, we have to acknowledge that there are millions of guns of all calibers, semi automatic hand guns and automatic assault rifles already owned and out in the streets today.

Secondly, to put a number of mentally unstable individuals in the US today let’s just say the numbers are increasing. Governmental policies since the mid 1980′s have relinquished responsibility in taking care of the mentally handicap. As a result, in trying to take up the slack school systems have been overwhelmed along with family support systems. 

Finally, we have to consider two factors that are interconnected. One is in education and the other is the economic and financial stability of the family unit and the country. Both have been subjected by governmental policies that have for years dismantled the quality of education and the economic structure of our nation to where today both are in the throughs of collapsing. Millions have been denied the opportunities for enrichment, growth, and nurturing characteristics that would ensure a stable and secure society.

In order for this crime bill to effect a extermination of the senseless mayhem that is gripping this nation for far too long starts in recognizing that without education on the local, state and national level simultaneously there can be no peace stability and prosperity. And, it starts with enacting this crime bill.
