"Mexico Calls for Weapons Crackdown"

Connection to the Constitution:
Amendment 2: "Right to Bear Arms-A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Analysis to the Constitution:
The purpose of the second amendment is to provide weapons for only militia and law enforcement. People cannot carry weapons if they are to violate the second amendment and will be prosecuted for infringement. When this amendment was created it was only to ensure the safety and well being of other people.
The founders made a loop hole in this amendemnt that only certain people such as military and law enforcement to carry weapons and not citizens.
Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan asking Congress to Help Stop Weapon Smuggling |
In the article "Mexico Calls for Weapons Crackdown," Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan asks Congress to help out with weapons smuggling. Arturo says they are not violating the second amendment but the weapons smuggling has to stop. He said, "that cartels are purchasing nearly all of their assault weapons and other guns from American vendors."
I would have to completely disagree with Arturo because they are violating the second amendment and are not following by its purpose because cartels are buying the weapons and they are not a militia but gangs. What he should actually be saying is that Mexico and American vendors are violating the 2nd amendment and they should be stopped.
