(Yahoo) In a new interview Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban proposed an update" to the Second Amendment that would protect the rights of gun owners and bolster the authority of states to dictate firearm policy within their borders. I would go to change the Second Amendment in ways that people probably wouldnt expect" says Cuban who backed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election and is mulling a 2020 bid as an Independent. The billionaire entrepreneur said the Second Amendment should first ensure that Americans can own firearms without running a risk that the government will seize their weapons. One every American citizen has the right to own a gun" Cuban says. Two the federal government will never be allowed to ever confiscate that gun from an individual." Next he said states should have wide latitude to determine gun policy within their borders. States have the right to manage the ownershipthe purchase ownership and managementof guns owned and held within their borders" says Cuban a host of the television show Shark Tank." If you live in a state like Texas if the law in Texas is open carry so be it" he adds. If you live in Pennsylvania where they are more stringent and they dont want you to be able to have a gun other than in your own premises or under lock and key or you have to do a background check then thats up to them to decide." In January the Supreme Court agreed to hear a Second Amendment challenge against a New York City law that restricts the movement of guns about the city. The case could be used to expand gun rights now that the high court has a conservative majority.
