Amend 2A to provide national health care resulting from guns. This could be

paid for by adding a fee to every gun purchase. This doesn't need to be part of the admendment but part of the implementation by Congress.

This would not be of any assistance to the current victims in Boston except the police officer wounded, It is still needed to prevent financial ruin along with medical wounds.

Urge your state reps to step up and start the process.

1. I actually like this fantasy, but it's a total fantasy and complete waste of time

to contact your reps over this.

3. It just state one state to start the ball rolling, maybe Mass or Delaware or NY or CT.

2. National health care resulting from terrorist acts.

Don't most health care policies exclude acts of war?

[CK_John]

4. Way off, my OP is for those shot by guns, any where any time in USA and its territories..

Nothing to due with terrorist.

5. The NHS of the UK doesn't. nt

6. So, your point?

[samsingh]

7. that would be a logical and decent thing to do

the cost of gun violence should be paid by those perpretating it, those profiting from it, and any remaining costs borne by a wider group.

e.g. we all pay for the military.

[Logical]

8. No way any amendment for the 2nd will have any possibility of passing in this country. Two many....

Conservative states.

9. It doesn't have to pass. One state can start the process and believe me

it will stir up a national dialog and let Congress know it's not the only game in town.

I know it will take 38 states ( unless they add states) even get it to Congress. But much of politics is based of possibility not the end product.

12. Good point I had not considered! n-t

10. I think we should levy a punitive tax on alcohol and oversize sugary drinks and cheetos instead.

I occasionally have a cheeto or a drink but would gladly pay an extra health care tax for a national health care.

However, applying a punitive tax to the constitution is kind of,,,, weird. Like a punitive tax on the free speech of people you disagree with. It's almost unconstitutional.

[CK_John]

11. You missed the part about not being part of the admentment but part of the implemention should

Congress want to levy this fee.
