IMO, the issue about guns (sorry to be getting back on topic :) ) is an issue with the American Constitution in general. People take it word for word, forgetting about the context it was written in. There's a certain book that people do that with all over the world...in fact its the misinterpretati...

Or maybe you are missing the point...(again) The lesson we should have learned from DC gun control, is it was too little too late, especially when you can buy assault weapons by the trunkload as easily as a Slurpee, by just taking a few steps over the invisible line on the map from DC over to VA.

There are lots of accidental shooting deaths and injuries in the US; with so many guns around, there are bound to be. Most are from handguns, IIANM. It is a high price to pay for "a right"; and like all rights, it must be balanced against other rights. Then there is the question of "defending" ones...
