Would better gun control help?

Nobody needs assault style weapons. The Brady bill should have been renewed. I'm not sure it is THE answer but I don't think our founding fathers imagined weapons like that when they wrote the second amendment.

People who are strict constitusionalists fail to factor in technological progress and other things the founding fathers couldn't possibly foresee.

Well............People had cannons in front of their houses, battlments and gunpowder stores throughout the 17-1800's. Advanced cannons and artillery for that era were placed in and around houses back in the day. Many came from ships and were the best and most advanced of that time. When comparing 200 years and the technology at the time we as citizens are way behind what any government has or has had "back in the day"

Makes me want a tank.

Sounds like defensive versus offensive weapons. Can't imagine dragging a cannon to the local movie theatre.
