I'm not saying we should outright ban guns, but for people who say that we should and for people that say we can't because we'll give up our rights (okay, rights that only some of the population actually wants) and they say that "if we give up that amendment, how long before we axe other amendments", I do have this to say: Of course, we wouldn't have to give up any rights if they never made the 2nd amendment in the first place. How unfortunate that they made an amendment to the constitution which says "Hey, every American has the right to own guns!".
You gotta love that a lot of people in America don't say "In retrospect, I wish they didn't do that", but a lot of those same people hate Thomas Jefferson for his good idea of "separation of church and state" ("Grrr, we coulda had a Christian theocracy, gosh darn it!").
