The second amendment is very clear on what it says. The problem is it sates two different things. It says that the right to bear arms shall NOT be infringed but it also says that we have the right to keep a militia trained and ready to fight being necessary to the free state. (Not exact words). So both conservatives and liberals are picking out the parts that argue their side which doesn't get us anywhere.
The "picking out" part is true. What is also true is a comparison of other nations to our problem...obviously they are doing something right and we are doing something wrong.
Those factual statistics are not open to interpretation.
That something right or something wrong has nothing to do with the regulation of firearms, however.
Firearm violence is but a symptom of much more serious, complex problems, problems we refuse to acknowledge and address, problems that cant be solved with more gun laws, restrictions, and regulations.
