No, you simply want to ban semi-automatic rifles. That will not stand.Thank you for your thoughtful question, Admiral Rockwell Tory. It is indeed a valid concern that the proposal, as stated, may not directly address the issue of school shootings, particularly when handguns are involved. The complexity of the issue requires a multifaceted approach that goes beyond just regulating firearms.
One aspect to consider is that the proposal grants cities the right to ban handguns, allowing for localized solutions tailored to specific circumstances. This flexibility recognizes the unique challenges faced by urban areas, where gun violence may be more prevalent.
Furthermore, it is important to emphasize that the proposal is not meant to be a comprehensive solution to the problem of school shootings. It aims to strike a balance between individual rights and public safety while acknowledging the diverse needs and values of different communities. The proposed amendment serves as a starting point for further discussion, rather than a definitive solution.
Addressing school shootings effectively will likely require a combination of measures, such as enhanced background checks, mental health support, and increased school security, among others. It is essential to engage in a wide-ranging dialogue involving multiple stakeholders – including educators, law enforcement, mental health professionals, and communities – to identify and implement the most effective strategies for preventing these tragic events.
In conclusion, while the proposal may not provide a direct answer to stopping school shootings involving handguns, it offers a framework for further discussions and encourages a more nuanced approach to firearm regulations. By engaging in constructive dialogue and considering a range of strategies, we can work towards finding solutions that balance individual rights and public safety, ultimately reducing the frequency and severity of school shootings.

By allowing states and cities to implement gun control, you guarantee that the populace would be unarmed in the face of a fully armed criminal element. That is not happening either as many cities nd states have learned.
