Getting Rid of People Killers
The SVD Dragonuv Sniper rifle has a ten round clip. A single bullet rockets out of the barrel at a speed of 830 meters per second. Each bullet is 7.62 millimeters long. It is an effective killer at 3800 meters. The Dragonuiv has a detachable bayonet . The SVD Dragonuv sniper rifle is a rifle created just for killing humans. It is not a hunting rifle or a small arm. It is a large caliber sniper rifle that can kill even at a long distance away with precise accuracy and almost total anonymity. The Ak-103 is an assault rifle that hurls 600 bullets per minute. The rifle comes with a thirty round clip. That means that all thirty bullets are shot in less than three seconds. Yet rifles like the Dragonuv and the Ak-103 are owned by Americans and can be sold to anyone. American citizens have the right to own machine guns and assault rifles that have no other purpose than to kill two legged animals. The second amendment does not protect that right. In fact the second amendment only protects the ownership of arms by a militia, which is the national guard. High powered assault rifles should be banned in America because there only purpose is killing humans, they can be easily bought and sold without any paper trail, and the second amendment does not protect the ownership of these guns.
An Ak 47 is the rifle that is used by most terrorist forces. An MP5 is the submachine gun that is used by the swat team and the army in small urban situations. The M16 is the assault rifle that American Marines and Army men use. These are guns that are used for the sole purpose of killing people. Each one of these guns is legal to own by any citizen of America. What use do legal and upstanding American citizens have for rifles that are used solely for the extermination of other human beings? It can be argued that American citizens should have the right to carry hunting rifles or small handguns for protection and hunting, but these weapons are neither for protection nor for hunting. What is worse, in Arizona and in Texas, a gun owner can sell a gun to anyone of legal age without any paper work. The machine gun or assault rifle can be sold to the highest bidder. This causes automatic weapons to be nearly untraceable to their current owner. While there have been laws that enforce citizens with automatic weapons to purchase a license which costs a few thousand dollars, the felons and criminals that do use automatic weapons will not purchase the permit. The government has set up a system were only the exorbitantly rich may own an automatic gun legally and criminals to own them for free. Almost all the guns that are illegally owned in America started out as legally owned weapons. That means these weapons were sold or stolen. The obvious solution is to remove the guns that are used for the purpose of killing people. Leave military arms inside the military and out of America.
For purchasing handguns and machine guns a background check is executed. The gun owner and distributor uses a database to find information on the possible buyer. A three day waiting period is instituted as the background check runs through. Once the person has passed the background check he or she can purchase any type of gun desired. Even with these background checks, the reports are destroyed shortly after the purchasing of the gun for the buyers own personal safety. The background check has private information that has been ordered to be destroyed by the United States Ggovernment. The problem is that illegal aliens or those that are criminal but have an alias can go through this background check freely and purchase any gun they desire. The FBI collects the names of those who have purchased handguns and machine guns in the United States. So shortly after the sale, the FBI has a list of who owns a gun. On that list they discover many people who should not be in possession of those guns.
If the FBI finds a record showing an allowed transfer to a “prohibited person†(e.g., a transfer to an alien who is illegally or unlawfully in the United States), that record indicates a potential violation of law, and the FBI may disclose the record to the appropriate law enforcement entity. These audits of the accuracy of responses given by NICS, and the additional (secondary) benefit of assisting law enforcement investigations, generally would not be possible under a next-day destruction policy. -United States General Accounting Office, “Gun Controlâ€, 2002
What few people know is that any person over the age of eighteen can walk into any gun shop or Walmart and purchase a sniper rifle. Because the government does not classify one type of rifle as a sniper rifle, all rifles can be bought and purchased without any background check. All the person needs is an authentic ID that states he or she is eighteen years of age. The SVD Dragonuv rifle that has been described above can be purchased by anyone without any paper trail following them. What is more amazing is that the owner can sell his rifle without any sort of paper work whatsoever. This can be very easily seen at any gun show all over the United States. Not only will there be gigantic booths with any type of gun imaginable for sale, but there are men and women walking around with a rifle strapped to their back and a for sale sign extending from the barrel of the rifle. You will see other people walking up and pulling out of their pocket a wad of cash and purchase the gun right there. Convicted felons and murderers can and do buy high caliber sniper rifles with no trace whatsoever. This is the cause for the recent tarot card sniper. A Jamaican man and his son have purchased a high powered rifle and used it to kill over ten people in the New England area. Which is further proof that such weapons should be banned.
The second amendment gives the right for a well regimented militia to own firearms. No where does it state that any citizen has the right to own any firearm, let alone high powered rifles and machine guns. Each state has a well regulated militia that the governor has total control over. This militia is the National Guard. It has been established to be the state’s individual protector and defender. It is used in case of a tyrannical take over of the government or in times of emergency. The National Guard is the well regulated militia that is spoken about in the second amendment. Our government does not protect the right to own guns. To create a very reasonable law to outlaw the selling and ownership of sniper rifles, assault rifles, and machine guns would not contradict the constitution of the United States.
The use and owning of high powered sniper rifles and machine guns should be banned in the United States. The guns are used for the sole purpose of killing another human being. The constitution of the United States was created for the protection of it’s people and their rights. The selling and use of machine guns and sniper rifles infringes on the rights of many Americans to live. The second amendment does not protect the selling of these type of weapons and once these weapons are sold it is nearly impossible to find out who is in possession of these weapons. Such weapons should not exist in America.
