Democracy doesn't uphold guns in every school of the United States of America as proposed by the Vice President of the National Rifle Association of America, Mr. Wayne LaPierre. There are also troubled people in safety personnel, and the same guns that were supposed to protect children in schools could end up triggering another tragedy.

1. GUN CONTROL IN AMERICA : THE SOLUTIONS
“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.”
But let’s have in mind that the U.S. Constitution was written in the 18th century,
more precisely in 1787 and that the U.S. Constitution was dealing with the
challenges of the times, with the challenges of the 18th century.
America between 1787 and 1790 was a burgeoning America in a new world filled
with wars coming from the ancient world: England, France, Spain..., and with wars
with the original Indian natives of North America, (...).
America in 1790 was made of thirteen states: Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia,
Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia. And the rest was the Wild Wide
West or New Spain.
In those troubled times of the 18th century in an America full of hazards and
uncertainties emerged the Militia as often in troubled times. At the times, there was
no FBI, no CIA, there were no police stations right at the corner of the street, so it
made sense in the 18th century in America, that people, to defend themselves, were
granted the “right to keep and bear Arms”.
But this is the 21st century now, in 2012, there is the Police, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the Secret Service..., there is no justification today, in the 21st
century in America, for every people to "keep and bear arms".
The U.S. Constitution must be updated to the needs of the times, to the needs of the
21st century, like so many various democracies around the world have done with
their own Constitutions, like the French with their Constitution of the 5th Republic of
1958.
And the update of the U.S. Constitution means courage from our representatives in
Congress, to repeal or to update once and for all the 2nd Amendment that doesn’t
make sense anymore.
But of course, and nevertheless, there will be in some cases, for professional
reasons, or recreational ones like hunting, for instance, the possibility for some
people to own arms.
But what is not acceptable is the circulation in today’s America of more than 300 000
000 firearms in the hands of anyone, this has nothing to do with democracy and "the
security of a free State", this has only to do with the Wild Wide West and with the
laws of the jungle.
After the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut, on
December 14, 2012, it is time to stand as one and to shout out loud: “no more
killings, no more tears, enough is enough”, and to push our representatives in
Congress to take the necessary actions and steps to turn this long postponed
fundamental right to safety into reality.
Democracy doesn't uphold guns in every school of the United States of America as
proposed by the Vice President of the National Rifle Association of America, Mr.
Wayne LaPierre. There are also troubled people in safety personnel, and the same

2. guns that were supposed to protect children in schools could end up triggering
another tragedy.
Democracy demands the repeal or the update of the Second Amendment.
Democracy demands the repeal of all laws upholding the free circulation of more
than 300 000 000 firearms in America in the hands of anyone, those arms that are
running counter to democracy and fundamental rights of mankind to live in peace.
