Nearly 5% of a community was wiped out - another 5% maimed - because we can't, as a society, decide that no - some people should not be allowed to have guns. A man who was dishonorably discharged (after serving a year in lockup) because of domestic violence - how on earth did this man get hands on even a cap gun, let alone a weapon of mass destruction (because yes, that's what this was. I don't care if you want to argue that it was only a semi-automatic - if you can kill and maim 10% of a community, it's mass destruction.) There is no "well-ordered militia" that this man should ever have been a part of.
I'm starting to have my doubts about the second amendment as it is - we have a well-ordered militia at this point (heck, we have 4 of them). Maybe we need to re-examine whether or not this is a vestigial amendment - the Constitution's appendix, initially harmless, but currently inflamed and killing us off.
