Don't disagree with that, real criminals will always find ways to get guns. On the other hand, at least stricter controls might stop the number of shootings by deranged loonies.

However, you have to be realistic about the situation in the US - the genie is already out of the bottle and you are not going to be able to put it back in unless there is mass approval and that doesn't exist. Any attempt to remove guns from citizens now will disarm the law-abiding and leave criminals armed.
Need to move hearts and minds first.

I wonder if they pried the gun from Charton Heston's cold dead hand before they buried him.
Just askin' like.

Originally posted by Mordac View PostGun rights are enshrined in the Constitution
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
However, laws could theoretically be put in place limiting that to a registered handgun and a hunting rifle for example, with guns and ammunition to be stored separately in secure places and only after having been trained in the use of such weapons with mandatory refresher training twice a year, without infringing that right. Automatic weapons and suchlike could still be accessible but only in the context of properly regulated gun clubs.
Such a law will never happen though, because Americans, by and large, are bat-poo crazy.
