Michael Moore Proposes a 2nd Amendment Replacement to Protect Citizens’ ‘Inalienable Right’ to Gun Violence Safety

Michael Moore has proposed a Constitutional amendment to replace the Second Amendment, after calling for its full repeal last month. The proposal would still allow Americans to own guns, but protect the “inalienable right of a free people to be kept safe from gun violence.”

Moore tweeted the hypothetical “28th Amendment” on Sunday, which outlines serious testing and background checks before obtaining a firearm.

“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,” the document reads. “A mental health check will also be required. There will be a waiting period of one month to complete the full background check.”

Moore proposed the minimum age to buy a gun be 25 years old, adding that there should be a yearly license renewal process. The “28th amendment” also lays out several types of banned firearms, and demands anyone who owns one of the restricted classes of weapons turn them into local law enforcement.

So once again, for morons on the left who have the brains of a lemming; CRIMINALS DO NOT FOLLOW OUR LAWS. Making it harder for LAW abiding citizens to purchase guns doesn't make you safer. It doesn't prevent crime. Murder is a crime punishable by death. Does that law stop these nutjobs?

Dumbfuck.

What a stupid tone-deaf fuck living in an ivory tower wishing for Communism for the plebeians.

I hope he is sent to Cuba for his upcoming healthcare emergencies, and being that fat, there will be many.

He's the face of a party so bereft of common sense, decency and ideas it is going to get its ass kicked in the midterms.

I don't bother to pay much attention to Michael Moore. He's just a loud public twit that continually says stuff like this. Meh. Like other Democrats, he belongs to the Church of Gun Control. Like other Democrats, he discards the Constitution of the United States, all State constitutions, and ignores the inherent right of self defense (at their own peril).

There is no democracy. The United States was organized as a federated republic.
Democracies have no representatives and no constitution.

Is the United States a democracy?

Yes, the United States is a democracy, since we, the people, hold the ultimate political power. We’re not a “direct democracy,” but we are a “representative democracy.”

This is where our history education might add some confusion. We are commonly taught that democracy is a product of ancient Greece. It’s their word – demokratia – after all. The city-state of Athens is credited with implementing a system of government of and by the people, whereby eligible citizens would congregate to make decisions. They’d make these decisions themselves (or “directly”), not through any elected representatives.

That system of government, better understood today as direct democracy, lives on in the United States in the form of ballot initiatives and referenda. Some states and localities afford their citizens the right to use these measures to directly enact, change, or repeal laws themselves.

More commonly, we exercise our political power in a different way: by voting in elections to choose our representatives. That’s representative democracy.

The Constitution does not use the term “democracy.” It’s true. But as Eugene Volokh notes in the Washington Post, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Noah Webster, Justice James Wilson and Chief Justice John Marshall all used the word. These scholars understood representative democracy – the American variety – to be democracy all the same.

Is the United States a republic?

Yes. The United States is a republic because our elected representatives exercise political power.

History also tells us that Rome was a republic, unlike Athens. When its monarchy was overthrown, Rome developed a republican system of government whereby citizens elected officials who were empowered to make decisions for the public. That’s the core of how our government works. While “democracy” and “republic” have been historically pitted against one another, the reality is that the two terms enjoy considerable overlap.

Irony is that all of what Moore recommends can be done Constitutionally without violating the Second Amendment

Is the United States a democracy?

No. The United States was organized as a federated republic. Each State is a republic.

Yes, the United States is a democracy, since we, the people, hold the ultimate political power.

No. The United States and each State have a constitution. Democracies have no constitution.

We’re not a “direct democracy,” but we are a “representative democracy.”

No such thing. Democracies have no representatives.

This is where our history education might add some confusion.

This is not about history.

We are commonly taught that democracy is a product of ancient Greece. It’s their word – demokratia – after all. The city-state of Athens is credited with implementing a system of government of and by the people, whereby eligible citizens would congregate to make decisions. They’d make these decisions themselves (or “directly”), not through any elected representatives.

Athens, like any democracy quickly dissolves. It is an unstable form of government. In the case of Athens, it quickly dissolved into a dictatorship.

That system of government, better understood today as direct democracy,

No such thing. Athens was a democracy, until it dissolved into a dictatorship.

lives on in the United States in the form of ballot initiatives and referenda.

Nope. ALL of those are subject to the constitution of the State. That is a republic, not a democracy.

Some states and localities afford their citizens the right to use these measures to directly enact, change, or repeal laws themselves.

ONLY BY the procedures laid out in the constitution of that State. That is a republic, not a democracy.

More commonly, we exercise our political power in a different way: by voting in elections to choose our representatives. That’s representative democracy.

Democracies have no representatives. Democracies have no constitution.

The Constitution does not use the term “democracy.” It’s true.

Because democracies have no constitution.

But as Eugene Volokh notes in the Washington Post, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Noah Webster, Justice James Wilson and Chief Justice John Marshall all used the word.

I am using the word now, so?

These scholars understood representative democracy

No, you don't get to speak for the dead! There is no such thing as 'representative democracy'. Democracies have no representatives.

the American variety – to be democracy all the same.

Redefinition fallacy (republic<->democracy).

False authority fallacy. This website defines no word.

Rome indeed was a republic for a short while. There is no overlap. The long decline of Rome began when dictators seized power and the the republic was no more.

Lie. Read the 2nd amendment.

It is a Democratic Republic,

What is left of the federal government is currently an oligarchy.
What is left of the State of California is a dictatorship. I call it the SDTC now.
What is left of the State of New York is an oligarchy. I call it the SOTNY now.

All done by Democrats....like YOU.

The remaining States survived. They are republics.

There is no such thing as a 'democratic republic'. Democracies have no constitution and no representatives.

we democratically elect those that represent us,

Never have. ALL elections are governed by the constitution defining and declaring that government. That constitution describes the election process for each representative, the power and authority they have, their term of service, etc.

These days, of course, elections are becoming a sham, thanks to the Democrats.

amazing how many on the right pontificate over that which they have little understanding of

You are describing yourself. Inversion fallacy. Once again, you show your own illiteracy concerning history, or even the English language.

Illiteracy: Use of comma where period required. Missing period. All sentences end with a period, exclamation point, or question mark (if a question). Buzzwords are meaningless.
Logic errors: Buzzword fallacy. Inversion fallacy.

You see this democracy/republic argument all the time and always on the Right, usually in idiotically claiming America can’t technically be a democracy because it’s a republic, when the terms don’t merely “overlap” but mean different things entirely.
