This is what I don't think a lot of gun owners quite understand. The second amendment isn't there to promote your recreational gun use over all other freedoms in this country. " A well regulated militia" is what it says. It is there for safety reasons. For security. To protect our freedoms in one way or another. At that time probably from government as well as other people, but today mostly just to protect ourselves from other people because let's be realistic... no one can fight the military with the massive amount of firepower that it now has.
I don't need to know anything about guns to interpret the second amendment... fair enough? It's someone else's words, not mine.
If gun violence starts to impose on other people's rights to just walk around and feel safe and feel like they can say and do what they want without being attacked, then we have to consider actions necessary in order to uphold the other freedoms that people are entitled to.

When you can articulate how another law will help you might have a point. Now your just advocating a "solution" that will change nothing.
