The Uniting Amendment keeps us out of unnecessary wars, keeps guns out of the hands of violent criminals, and strengthens our right to bear arms.
War and peace
We are currently in a state of continuous war. There is no longer civilian oversight of the military -- when a special interest wants the U.S. to use military force for their benefit, they simply claim that there are terrorists in the target country and the troops invade. No vote in Congress. No declaration of war. Even presidential objections are ignored. The Uniting Amendment brings the military back under civilian control by requiring a specific declaration of war prior to the use of military force. It also requires a national vote each year to continue a war. And it specifies exactly when force may be used in an emergency when the country is attacked and when there is not enough time for Congress to act. In these cases, Congress must vote on such use within a specific time period.
Individual self-defense
It also eliminates the current background check system, which is error-prone and has allowed the sale of guns to violent criminals. Under the Uniting Amendment, those who have been adjudicated with probable cause and due process of violent crimes or threats of violence may have their rights limited and they are listed in a public list that indicates whether or not they may possess a firearm. Those who wish to sell a weapon can look for themselves to see if the person they are dealing with is prohibited from buying a gun. Anyone who wishes to publicly indicate that they oppose the ownership of guns may voluntarily add their name to the list. No background checks or any other process is required other than checking the list prior to the sale. And nobody else needs to know about the sale – because privacy is another right of self-defense that must be preserved.
The right to bear arms is clarified in the Uniting Amendment. An excerpt from Section 13 of the Amendment:
- "The right of self-defense shall not be infringed; the right of the people to lawfully possess, use, transport, transfer, sell, buy, or otherwise own or control any weapon or defensive device for the purpose of the defense of their life, liberty, family, community and property from criminals, aggressors, usurpers or tyrants shall not be abridged, infringed, licensed, or regulated."
