Why do you think gun control is a "punishment"? Punishment for what? Would you prefer no control whatsoever? If so...what would you propose to do about people settling small differences with a gun? How would that work? We all know that the problem is not with the guns themselves, so it's downright ludicrous to keep on accusing "liberals" of blaming the existence of guns for gun violence. The simple fact is that people are responsible but it's obvious that it's impossible to predict when a person will go mad and start shooting . So, all that can be done is to make it more and more difficult for undesirable people to obtain guns. It's obvious that at least some tighter gun laws are an absolute necessity in America...something has to be done. What's your solution to the problem?

Population of America...318.9 million (2014) There were 3.3 million Muslims of all ages living in the United States in 2015, or about 1 percent of the total U.S. population, the Pew Research Center reports. The figure is an update to Pew's 2011 estimate of 2.75 million Muslims living in the United States.7 Jan 2016 And...there are three hundred million civilian owned guns in America. Why are you so scared?

When I read that part about weapons in the 2nd Amendment, to me it means that people in the militia have the right to bear arms, and not people outside the militia. In any case I think there are too many millions of guns out there already to ever regulate who can own them so passing laws now about who can buy new guns seems pointless. Maybe every business owner can keep a machine gun handy just in case some mass murderer comes in.

Thanks for the informative article. If the NRA's interpretation of Second Amendment is fraudulent then couldn't their interpretation be legally voided/disregarded? Or at least strongly challenged? And if enough U.S. citizens get behind proposed modification of existing gun laws, the balance could tip in favour of such? Is that correct? Sorry if I ask the seemingly obvious.

Interesting history in this blog. Coincides with my memory of those times. I recall the controversies back in the early 70s a few years before, and it was the first time I'd heard the catchphrase "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns". Nothing has ever trumped that logic for me. Sociologists have found that the one defining characteristic that sets the US citizenry apart from the rest of the world is an awareness of our individual rights. That may be changing, but I don't see it happening for at least one more generation. The US population has become soft, but gun owners will be the last to become sheep. Good blog, and GBU, Gavin
