Follow the example of the jusrisprudence surrounding the 1st Amendment.I think the vast majority of Americans concede that we are long overdue for some overarching restrictions on this second amendment right. I got it, it's everyone's constitutional right, and I agree but as members of a civilized society we are inelligent enough to process ALL relevant data from recent history and adapt this dated amendment. The challenge is working past the constitutionality of regulating this as the firearms control regulations act of 1975 has demonstrated. In this instance it was deemed that banning firearms in certain venues was unconstitutional? I don't know,maybe we should take a look at this attempt at regulation and go from there?

It's just a long-winded way of saying "I don't care that 'right' is protected by the strongerst terms found anywhere in the Constitution -- I want to make it harder for law-abiding ciitizens to get guns!"Follow the example of the jusrisprudence surrounding the 1st Amendment.I think the vast majority of Americans concede that we are long overdue for some overarching restrictions on this second amendment right.

It must be a conspiracy
Conducted from July 31 to August 6, the poll shows the majority of likely voters in all three swing states do not favor stricter regulations for gun sales.
Voters in Colorado, where a gunman last month killed 12 and injured many more when he opened fire in a crowded movie theater, were most likely to favor keeping gun laws exactly as they are, with just 38 percent wanting stricter gun sales in their state. Sixty-six percent of voters in that state also said they do not believe harsher gun laws would curtail future shooting sprees; 60 percent of Virginia voters and 57 percent of Wisconsin voters share that view.

That's NO SURPRISE,they are American after all.
Where the 'right' to bear arms is far more important than preventing mass shootings.

No, not really, as society changes, our laws should change to reflect this changing dynamic. The constitution was designed with this in mind. I don't think the 2nd amendment should be stripped away, I am an advocate of more oversight and greater restrictions for those deemed unworthy of owning. Law abiding gun owners will be inconvenienced in the interest of the greater good.

Nope, the second amendment is just fine the way it is, and there are already more than enough Laws on the books to alleviate any concerns you may have. We Law abiding citizens have been inconvenienced enough already.

The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed

I see "shall not be infringed", not "shall not be infringed except when doing so is for someone's version of 'the greater good.'"Law abiding gun owners will be inconvenienced in the interest of the greater good.

Civic responsibility like Eric Holder's DOJ walking guns into Mexico resulting in the death of Brian Terry? Spare me the bullshit. Law abiding citizens have been inconvenienced by you gun grabbing loons long enough, enforce the Laws that already exist and keep your paws off of my Freedoms. The Second Amendment wasn't about protecting yourself from criminals, it was about keeping power in the hands of the people so that one day some Politician doesn't decide he wants to stay in power a bit longer than the Constitution allows. Civic duty is protecting the freedoms this Nation was Founded upon, not altering our Laws to fit some people's twisted utopian ideologies. Sometimes tragedies do happen, but you don't let emotions trump rational thought whenever a tragedy occurs. Once you give up your Freedoms, it's damn hard to get them back.
