So what is it? 33 more students dead. Maybe more. And yet, after Columbine, Texas A&M, Red Lake High School, Enoch Brown - we still have no national action on gun control. Our Congress and pResident are marrionettes of the NRA. Do you think that the 2nd Amendment would have been as vague had the authors of the Constitution lived today - with the uzi, semi-automatic weapon, silencer, or thermonuclear device??? Does the right to keep and bear arms apply to any and all arms??? Or should it apply only to muskets?
"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."
What about the first clause: "A well regulated militia..."? The 2nd Amendment fundamentalists seem to omit that part.
We are a screwed up nation - where firearms kill about 85 people per day, 30,000 per year and injure another 65,000 per year. http://www.hno.harvard.edu/gazette/2000/09.28/firearms.html But, the NRA is so all-powerful, that Congress is loathe to reign in the proliferation of guns.
Their slogan: Guns don't kill people.
Bullshit.
