5. I don't think it's a loophole per say, but I agree with your premise.

I think we would be better off if the second amendment were about the right to keep and bear cannabis instead of guns. I was born in a house full of guns. I had plenty of awful experiences with guns as a child, but luckily no one was hurt or killed. As a young man I worked on an ambulance. I was on duty watching TV between calls the day this happened:

As I watched in horror, my partner and I got a call to go to a Burger King in Fort Lauderdale where we found a very large man had taken a .38 slug to the chest. The poor guy must have weighed well over 300 lbs and it took all we had just to lift him into the back of the ambulance. I don't know if the poor man survived. It was a busy night and as soon as we got him to the hospital we were back on the street. I only did that job for a few months before I had enough and moved on. As a nation we are awash in guns. The NRA and the 2nd amendment are really about the right for gun manufacturers to have unfettered gun sales with absolutely no responsibility after the sale.
