THE SECOND AMENDMENT FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY

Senator Hatch will not vote for Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court. He complains Sotomayor is soft on the Second Amendment. How useful is that amendment. All one has to say is someone does not support The Right to Kill, and that ends the nomination discussion. Never mind her other qualifications.

The Second Amendment proved useful in the 1790s when the USA had few small militias with primitive weapons and no urban police forces.


RIGHT ASCENSION'S CALL TO ACTION

Nowadays the Second Amendment causes more problems than it prevents. Congress should abolish The Second Amendment and replace it with four Constitutional amendments for the 21st Century:

1. An amendment guaranteeing a person’s right to self defense against danger.

2. An amendment clearly stating Congress should fund a national military and the president executive should serve as commander in chief to control the national military.

3 An amendment clearly banning and outlawing private armies in America.

4. An amendment allowing states to have national guards with weapons.
