We also haven't had a major gun massacre since those gun control legislations were brought in.... America on the other hand seems to have them every few months. The legislation has to change. The constitution has to change, the particular amendment was put there how many years ago? It isn't a sacred text... the situation has changed. America is no longer under any significant threat, and no longer needs this particular amendment.
The argument may be it is a persons liberty to own a gun? And they should be able to.. subject to proper background checks and with a legitimate reason for it.
If the end pursuit is liberty, I must ask, where is the liberty for those who live in fear of Gun violence, because guns ownership is not controlled? Where is the liberty of the hundreds of people killed by gun violence?
Changing the legislation won't fix the problem. There is so much more than needs to happen, but it will help and it will be a start...
Just for the record... I enjoy shooting & my Dad owns a gun, hahaha - he does, however, need to be involved with the rifle club to own it, and it needs to be locked in a safe when not in use, where it cannot be reached by those who could use it for harm.
