I'd be fine "regulating" guns per the word "well regulated"


in the 2A itself. And we already have established limits on what "arms" people have the right to "bear". You can't own a fully automatic weapon or a shoulder fired grenade launcher. So why should we not be able to limit --- or at least make it MUCH harder to obtain -- weapons capable of such quick, easy and efficient mass killing with no skills, training, or planning required.

We make people get a license to operate a motor vehicle. In order to get that license, they have to demonstrate competency to safely operate a motor vehicle. Why? Because people who are unable to safely operate a motor vehicle compromises the safety of others. And if you want to get a license to operate a large commercial vehicle, capable of putting the safety of many people at risk, the licensing and proficiency requirements are even greater. Why on earth wouldn't we treat guns similarly.

I'm fine going after people who illegally possess guns. It might even move the needle on say inner city gang violence. I don't think it will do a thing to stop mass shootings as almost all of these mass shootings involve someone going to a store, legally buying a gun capable of quick, efficient and easy mass killing, and then going on a shooting spree. Shouldn't we make it a LITTLE harder for people to do that?
