I also think the SCOTUS got this one right. They looked at not only the wording but the context and frame of mind of the founding fathers. My favorite amendments are 1,2 and 10. Why? Those are the ones put in there to protect the people from governments.
Guns aren't the problem, crminals are. More specitically in the U.S. we protect and caudle our criminals too much. We also try to protect people from themselves, and by doing so we're permitting people who are too stupid to support themselves over breed and fill up inner cities with uneducated undisciplined, unmotivated youth who have no respect for law and actually view prison as perhaps a better option than living at home. Jail gets you 3 hots and a cot, many dont have that at home.
Additional gun control is meaningless. If you cant effectively enforce the laws you have, all you do is create hassle for the honest man looking to use the gun for sport or self defense. Ban all guns! Ok, again, you take them from the law abiding citizens, what's your plan to get them out of the hands of the criminals?
Dont address symptoms go for the root cause.
What would I do? I'd take it the other way. First thing, it becomes legal to shoot anyone who breaks into your home whether they are armed or not. Ditto for your vehicle. Let's thin out some of the crackheads doing home invasions and car jackings and terrorizing people over pocket money.
Second, stop the breeding. You have a child and want government support for it, you get your ass spade or neutered so you dont have any more. It can be reversed when you stop taking those checks.
Third, prison should really suck. Bring back the chain gang. Those rural roads that only get attention every 30 years after they're falling apart, here's your free labor to fix it. Make it less attractive
Finally, get the kids who do not want to learn out of the schools so they are not a distraction to those who do. You'll also lure better teachers if they aren't living in fear when they turn their back on an inner city class full of hood rats.

You nailed it sweetie...tell it like it is, and not how they want it to be.
If I didn't know better, I'd swear my husband stole your login and posted this himself.
