Maybe it's time to re-adjust our Constitution. Right now- maybe it isn't working?

Level 7

The constitution is just fine , it's the interpretation that needs to be readjusted.

Level 9

The only civilized nation which has made no attempt to deal with guns and gun violence is the USA. We should be ashamed of that fact.

Level 9

Adjusting the Constitution is very difficult. We can't even get legislators to pass common sense gun regulations. Or stop taking money from the gun lobby and NRA.
It's a nice idea, but if it hasn't happened before now, it's not likely to.
Unless enough people come out to unseat the republicans in the midterms.

I don't think that we have to change the Constitution. We just have to stop deliberately misinterpreting the Second Amendment. Read it carefully for what it says and does not say. I does not say that a person has the right to bear any particular type of arms. Tanks? Grenade Launcher? Rocket launcher. If not those, how can one claim to have the right to have any automatic weapon or other device which is intended to kill as many people as posible.
