Michael Moore Publishes Reworked Second Amendment Banning All Semiautomatic Firearms

AWR Hawkins 10 Jul 2022

Documentary filmmaker and gun control proponent Michael Moore published his idea for a new Second Amendment Sunday, and it features a ban on all semiautomatic firearms.

He announced his new amendment via Twitter:

Moore posted his new amendment on this webpage, explaining that it would be the 28th Amendment and that it would repeal and replace the Second Amendment.

Moore’s news amendment erases any talk of a right to “keep and bear arms,” positing, instead, an “inalienable right to be kept safe from gun violence.”

The amendment outlines the in-depth background check that would be required for gun purchases:

Quote
All who seek a firearm will undergo a strict vetting process with a thorough background check, including the written and confidential approval of family members, spouses and ex-spouses and/or partners and ex-partners, co-workers and neighbors. A mental health check will also be required.

Michael Moore drafts new constitutional amendment to take away gun rights   :thud:

 Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore was mocked on Sunday after he published a draft of a new constitutional amendment that would repeal the Second Amendment.

Just days after recounting the privileges of "full citizenship," Moore published his draft of a new constitutional amendment that would severely restrict firearm ownership.

The proposed amendment contains eight sections and demonstrates clear misunderstandings of constitutional law.

The first section focuses on protecting Americans from "gun violence and the fear thereof." It reads:

    The inalienable right of a free people to be kept safe from gun violence and the fear thereof must not be infringed and shall be protected by the Congress and the States. This Amendment thus repeals and replaces the Second Amendment.

The amendment also raises the minimum legal age for firearm ownership to 25 (section 4), establishes a national firearm registry (section 2), outlines a lengthy and strict process for firearm ownership (sections 2, 3, and 4), and outlaws all semi-automatic firearms (section 5).

In Moore's dystopian utopia, then, only firearms like revolvers and bolt-action rifles are legal. Moore similarly limits who can own firearms to licensed hunters, those who are licensed for sport shooting, and "the few who can demonstrate a special need for personal protection," which inevitably limits firearm ownership to the elite and privileged.

The proposed amendment also outlaws "any homemade equipment and machinery ... that can make a gun or weapon that can take a human life" (section 5).

Finally, the proposed amendment says that police officers who carry "shall be subject to comprehensive and continuous monitoring and shall be dismissed if found to exhibit any racist or violent behavior" (section 7) and demands that any American who owns any firearms made illegal under the amendment has only one month to surrender them to the government (section 8)...............

Well... After that misshapen statement of his, obviously not.

Hell, might as well outlaw tin shops and carpenters too... I can certainly fashion a weapon out of sharpened tin or a 2x4 that can take human life.

I read the proposed amendment.

Amazingly, he managed to word it so poorly that even the Armed Forces would not be allowed to use guns.

Pretending it's a proposed Amendment is just a cheap editorial gimmick.  It bored the snot out of me.

The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing.

I can't help but wonder if he truly believes that Congress is going to take up a vote on his proposed 'amendment'.  :2popcorn:

As time goes on, does anyone take him seriously anymore?

I reckon he'll go for elk antlers and rocks next, not to mention bootlaces.
Before there were firearms, there was a great variety of pointy things made from everything from charred wood to flint to metal...not to mention anything that could be used as a ligature...

In reality, it is just a bit of attention whoredom from someone who desperately is seeking relevance.
