With all the school shootings and such happening, is it time for regulation on the 2nd amendment?
Australia went through this a few years back and went surprisingly well.

How about LESS regulation? Let's arm some teachers, teach them how to shoot, publicize when teachers gun down a wannabe shooter, and watch how quickly school shootings drop.
I know libtards can't see the logic in that, but that's why you're libtards.

I guess someone could make a good argument for "reform" of the 2nd, but it's too late for that. There are over 300 million guns in this country with a huge portion of them not having a paper trail. Honest people obtain them legally and don't use them to commit crimes. Criminals obtain them through whatever means necessary and use them to kill. Honest people would comply with additional laws and criminals wouldn't leaving honest people vulnerable. I don't see how taking away semi autos, hand guns, etc from people willing to comply with new laws is going to stop school/workplace shootings.

Knowing that there will always be crazy people in the world...I'm just opening the debate...because what has been happening is absolutely saddening.
I used the Australia example because they had a very similar situation and view on the matter.

I'd rather regulate the 3rd Amendment. Just the other day I had some British red coats at my door requesting tea and scrumpets.

I doubt the people that shoot up schools legally own the weapons and have carry permits. Regulation of the 2nd amendment would take away firearms from the wrong people.

They were posing as red coats, as the Brits like tea and CRUMPETS.

IMHO, if you budge an inch on the 2nd Amendment they will never stop "amending" it. I always come back to this quote.
"False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils, except destruction.
The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes ... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President

I gotcha now.

I'm more for regulating the 1st Amendment.

How about we find a way to force parents to raise their kids responsibly?
You want more laws, why not make some about that? I mean laws with some real teeth?
Parents now use computers, TVs, video games,etc. as babysitters,or don't care at all.
Guns are not the problem. I got my first shotgun when I was 11 years old, and I have never pointed my personal weapon at another person, hope I never have to. That's how I was raised.

No. Why don't we instead address the issue of mental illness, the cause of most of the horrific shootings we've witnessed? When a person experiences a physical illness, we sympathize. When a person has a mental illness, we stigmatize.
Why don't we just regard mental sickness as a physical illness of the brain, which it is?

no!
a return to frontier justice would probably lessen the number of quacks shooting people. just haul them out and string them up. make it a public spectacle. hell, let school out and fire up the grills. have a beer and watch the hanging!!

Because of No Child Left Behind and other "equality" laws. We used to have state hospitals and mental institutions that were shut down.
I would love to change these...but they are much less likely to be discussed seriously.

I guess I'm just an honest criminal. I've obtained all of mine legally and used none of them to kill or commit a crime.
