Our forefathers who constructed the Constitution of the United States, included in the Second Amendment, did not intend for all citizens to use and bear arms unless it was to defend for the state or the country. The use of guns has been taken out of context by lobbyist, such as the NRA (National Rifle Association). It is understood that "guns do not kill people, people kill people"" (Johnson). The purpose of the weapon depends on the intention of its wielder. The issue on gun control is not the right to bear arms, but the type of weapon used for the right to bear arms.
On October 22, 1968 President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Gun Control Act of 1968 (Wikipedia). The Gun Control Act of 1968 was part of Lyndon B. Johnson's "Great Society"" which stimulated passage by the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr (Wikipedia). For nearly over three decades, the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA) has shaped the legal ramification of national gun policy in the United States. The debates leading to the passage of the GCA had prolonged for over five years and involved the Departments of Justice and Treasury, the White House, firearms interest groups, and both houses of Congress (The Gun Control Act of 1968). When the Founding Fathers wrote the Second Amendment it was during the time of the use of muskets and one shot pistols. As times changed, Americans were able to modernize weapons, but no one realized the problem that these weapons of war would become if it got into the hands of ordinary citizens. The government did not realize the dangers of assault weapons until it got into the hands of ordinary citizens. For example, the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14, 2012, Adam Lanza brought a 30-round magazine for his semiautomatic, .223 caliber model XM15 rifle and bullets for his Glock handgun and a Sig-Sauer handgun into the Sandy Hook Elementary School, killing twenty children and six adults (Botelho, Candiotti, Watkins).
