    The proposed amendment includes raising the federal age to buy a gun from 18 to 21, banning so-called assault weapons and mandating universal background checks and a waiting period between the purchase of a gun and its delivery.

    It… it doesn’t sound horrible, but I’m not American so I probably underestimate how important immediate gun access is to keep the wheels turning.

      As far as I know everything except the banning of the assault weapons is very popular in America, so this will go nowhere and it’s that’s probably on purpose to keep gun regulations a wedge issue.

      It’s how affective a century plus of paranoia propaganda by the NRA has been.

        It has nothing to do with that, gun owners aren’t the ones running around saying the AR15 should be banned, when it contributes to around 50 deaths a year…the paranoia is on the anti-2a side.

      Well for one assault weapon isnt a proper term, its like the term muscle car. Ya kinda get what someone means by it but it is not a solid enough term to be used for anything practical.
