GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[HairOfTheDog]

I've been reading and listening to a lot of interviews from both sides of the aisle and apolitical people for the last week, Maggot.

I have not heard any of them, not one, claim that the Second Amendment is the problem here. The whole "attack on the Second Amendment" spiel is the same tired old NRA line that gets tossed out ad nasuem whenever the push for better gun safety and control legislation arises.

What I have heard cited as the problem by students, teachers, victims' families, politicians, LE:

--inadequate control of guns,
--easy access to assault weapons and high capacity magazines by non-military and youth,
--gaps in background check requirements,
--incomplete NICS records,
--inadequate LE follow-up and response,
--unprotected schools,
--lack of enforcement of existing laws,
--NRA influence and control over politicians,
--lack of mental health treatment and reporting for those flagged as a violent threat...

Taking action to address/resolve some or all of those problems is not a threat to the Second Amendment right to bear arms in a well-regulated fashion, as stipulated in the Constitution.
