@robert daigneault@mikema50And a whole lot more “knee-jerk” reactions. By now it is well known by most people that criminals are not affected by gun controls. As sad as I find the death of those people in that church, I also find sad how people like you do not stop to think at the consequences that your suggestions may bring; the literal “throw the baby with the dirty water” The murderer could have just as easily use a knife, what would you have suggest then? From now on all knives in the nation must be blunt and only chefs and housewives can use them. You really want to stop these terrible incidents from happening? Lobby your political leader for harsher penalties. Making criminals of the rest of the country is not a solution, if gun control laws are increased no one in their right mind will tell you if and/or how many guns they have. You just have to look at Canada, their gun control laws are so useless that the whole law had to be scraped. It was nothing more than money making scheme, awfully and poorly managed and made criminals of defenseless law abiding citizens.“more reasonable interpretation of the second amendment?” I am guessing you haven’t even read the second amendment. In your opinion a reasonable interpretation would be something that will benefit a tyranny. Go back to your history books and find out why Yamamoto insisted to the emperor and his generals not to invade the US. It should give you the answer you need.
