Michael Moore would like to amend the Constitution

Filmmaker and activist, Michael Moore, posted an article on his Substack page on the 10th of July 2022 that calls for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution whose purpose would be to protect “the inalienable right of a free people to be kept safe from gun violence and the fear thereof” by repealing the Second Amendment and directing Congress to enact laws requiring the banning of all self-loading firearms and of such weapons made at home, a round capacity limit of six, registration of all guns, and licensing for hunters, sport shooters, and the few who can convince the government that their lives are in particular danger. The minimum age for lawful ownership would be twenty-five, and owners would have to pass an intrusive background check that would include interviews with neighbors, co-workers, and current and former romantic partners. Under this proposed amendment, “no weapons of any kind whose sole intention is the premeditated elimination of human life are considered legal,” and there would be no “‘right’” to own guns.
