<p>A resolution backing Allen's proposed Constitutional amendment would directly contradict our platform:</p>
<blockquote type="cite" style="padding: 0 0.4em; border-left: #1010ff 2px solid; margin: 0">
<p><strong>1.8 Self-Defense</strong></p>
<p>The only legitimate use of force is in defense of individual rights — life, liberty, and justly acquired property — against aggression. This right inheres in the individual, who may agree to be aided by any other individual or group. We affirm the individual right recognized by the Second Amendment to keep and bear arms, and oppose the prosecution of individuals for exercising their rights of self-defense. Private property owners should be free to establish their own conditions regarding the presence of personal defense weapons on their own property. We oppose all laws at any level of government restricting, registering, or monitoring the ownership, manufacture, or transfer of firearms or ammunition.</p>

<div>1. So i cant give my best friend i have known for 40 years a ShotGun to go hunting. My wifes friend who fears and Ex Boyfriend we cant loan her a pistol for self defense, I cant leave my Cousin in my house by himself.</div>

<div> A state or Congress may by law<br /> provide for civil liability or criminal punishment with respect to use by any individual other than<br /> the owner of a gun that causes harm or death to any individual. <span style="color: #000099;">AB: As to 1 above and 2 below: The point is: If you make your guns available to others, you can potentially be liable if they go out and kill people. The kid in CT (Sandy Hook) took his parent's guns. The whole point of liability/punishment as provided by law requires legilators to come up with when such provisions should apply</span>. <br /> <br /> 2. So i can be held liable for someone use or Miss Use of weapon i am not in control of, IE someone breaks in my house and steals a weapon then shoots up a school i might be held liable? (this is a bad idea)<br /> <br /> A state or Congress may by law restrict or prohibit the use of rapid fire guns. <span style="color: #000099;">AB: Same as above. I would think older people ordinarily should be able to get rapid fire guns, as they are needed to protect themselves. Again, it's up to lawmakers to decide. Perhaps no federal law would exist and states would act as they saw fit. The whole point of permitting state and federal laws is the Feds would likely provide a floor in at least most of the areas noted. Some states might do nothing. Other states, perhaps such as California, would be very restrictive. Open to other language. The point is machine guns, etc. are not needed by the vast majority of the public for protection or hunting, etc. </span><br /> <br /> 3. Outlaw all guns not a revolver or bolt action rifle.<br /> <br /> <br /> </div>

<p>While I'm in favor of some changes to the Second Amendment, I think they can legally happen only through an amendment to the U.S. Constitution (i.e. a change to the Second Amendment). So, I don't disagree with anything in the resolutions.</p>
<p>However, I suggest whatever is done leave and be open to a reasonable amendment to the Second Amendment -- simple saying NO to any action doesn't cut it - in my opinion. Something needs to be done. I don't think the framers would adopt the Second Amendment given's today's reality.</p>
<p>What I believe is reasonable is attached; other possibilities exist</p>
