What's your opinion on gun control?

In a way I'm opposed to guns, but I think to ban them in the US would be really impractical and to do it would be dangerous. They're so much a part of US culture that they're considered a right and you can't take that away, at least not all at once.

I disagree to anyone who says that there's an easy solution; if the solution was obvious there'd be no debate.

I also disagree that the Second Amendment (the right to keep and bear arms) is being interpreted as it was meant to be. It was written in times when the US was at significant risk of foreign invasion and allowing citizens to carry arms to use against potential foreign threats was sensible. The US has changed a lot in the 200 years since it was passed and the Amendment is no longer relevant. I think the Amendment should not be interpreted as legalising any citizen to own a firearm because the Amendment was written in a completely different cultural context to today. It's one of many things I dislike about the concept of a rigid Constitution like the US Constitution (and the federal system, although it has many other advantages), but I won't rant and rave about that (now) :P

I support gun control in principle, but I think if it was to take place now in the US, it would need to be done very, very carefully and gradually. Of course any attempt to do so would be blocked by the Supreme Court :P
