My proposal is the most Democratic. We cannot simply change the 2nd Amendment (or amend the Amendment if you will). No, we would have to abolish the 2nd Amendment and then ADD a "new" Amendment.
This new Amendment would be based on the current 2nd Amendment but include background checks, stricter control laws like IDs, etc. The debate would get most heated when discussing what type of guns (and ammunition) will be legal and which is not. But America should have a National Special Amendment Vote to see how the Country feels. What with all the shootings, almost daily now, this is an Emergency situation and our Dear Leaders should show leadership and get the ball rolling on changing the Constitution ASAP.

My proposal of making it the job of the police to issue licenses, would, of course, provide all the necessary background checks. Someone has to have a reason to buy a gun of a specific kind. Handgun with a single shot right up to semi-automatics, one or as many as they want.
They have to give the police a good reason to own a product designed to kill.
