XXVIII AMENDMENT 

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedSECTION 1. Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedThe 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. SECTION 2. Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedCongress shall create a mandatory system of firearm registration and licensing for the following limited purposes: (a) licensed hunters of game; (b) licensed ranges for the sport of target shooting; and (c) for the few who can demonstrate a special need for personal protection.  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. There will be a waiting period of one month to complete the full background check.  SECTION 3. Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedThose who meet all the requirements for the restricted gun owners groups and successfully pass the background check must take a firearms safety class and pass a written test on an annual basis.  SECTION 4. Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedThe minimum age for the restricted groups who can own a firearm is 25 years old.

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedSECTION 5. Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedCongress will stipulate and continually update the limited list of approved firearms for civilian use, including weapons in the future that are not yet invented. The following firearms are heretofore banned:   • All automatic and semi-automatic weapons and all devices which can enable a single-shot gun to fire automatically or semi-automatically;    • Any weapon that can hold more than six bullets or rounds at a time or any magazine that holds more than six bullets;    • All guns made of plastic or any homemade equipment and machinery or a 3D printer that can make a gun or weapon that can take a human life. SECTION 6. Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedCongress shall regulate all ammunition, capacity of ammunition, the storage of guns, gun locks, gun sights, body armor and the sale and distribution of such items. No weapons of any kind whose sole intention is the premeditated elimination of human life are considered legal. Congress may create future restrictions as this amendment specifically does not grant any American the “right” to own any weapon.   SECTION 7. Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedPolice who are trained and vetted to use firearms shall be subject to comprehensive and continuous monitoring and shall be dismissed if found to exhibit any racist or violent behavior. SECTION 8. Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedPersons already owning any of the above banned firearms, and who do not fall into the legal groups of restricted firearms owners, will have one month from the ratification of this Amendment to turn in their firearms for destruction by local law enforcement. These local authorities may organize a gun buy-back program to assist in this effort. Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published(The above constitutional amendment was written by Michael Moore of Michigan and presented to the 117th United States Congress on July 11, 2022)

Michael did the draft so our elected officials don’t have to strain themselves to do the necessary thinking part. To the others who commented: If we are fans of MM, let us not nitpick the details. The essence is the goal of common sense gun management, aka, allowing Americans live without fear.

“There will be a waiting period of one month to complete the full background check.”

The waiting period should be a minimum of one month and up to six months.
