Frank's Musings

Potentially mentally unstable people are now vulnerable to overwhelming information and diatribes on pervasive social media. This makes the easy access to weapons of war much more dangerous for society than even just twenty years ago. Therefore, it’s time to limit the public’s so-called right to bear arms, despite the Second Amendment, and make it conform to modern conditions.

Why do conservatives resist gun control? Those individuals do not want to buy AR-15s. They just oppose all limitations on personal freedom. The problem is that they define personal freedom as impulsiveness.

Therefore, remediation of the mass murder problem in today’s America can be summarized by the following syllogism:

Guns enable impulsive behavior.

Assault weapons worsen outcomes.

Modern technology stresses self-control.

Outlawing civilian access to AR-15s will save lives.
