[QUOTE]Originally posted by HopefulNebula: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [qb]Second, the constitution of the United States forbids gun control. Some courts have said it doesn't. They need to actually read the damn second amendment. There is NO reading of it, consistent with the rules of English grammar, that doesn't make it perfectly clear that people have a right to own firearms. Third, the Constitution should be changed to allow gun control (along with a number of other updates). Obviously there is no possible need for a private individual to own an automatic rifle. Background checks should be necessary before buying a weapon. Safety training should be mandatory. Some of these things may already be laws. Some may be laws and not be enforced. I don't know, but that's a bare minimum of sane safety. [/qb][/QUOTE]Agreed on both counts. The key to the Second Amendment is the fact that it specifies "a well-regulated militia." Ultimately, though--America as a society doesn't have a gun problem so much as it does a [i]people[/i] problem. There's a disturbing level of apathy toward others that in my opinion is a primary cause of not only tragedies like the ones at Columbine and VA Tech, but also a lot of more chronic societal ills.
