Amend the Constitution

A nation that does nothing about the rising tide of gun violence within its borders is not a great nation. Despite all our “God Bless America” pleas, God does not bless nations where hate and greed trump love.

Should any citizen in our country be allowed to buy a military assault weapon? Who really needs one?

It is time to amend the Constitution, the outdated Second Amendment, and update it to meet 21st century needs.
