TopCat, I object to trying to get rid of the second amendment..that is unnecessary and would be overkill. There's a lot of talk about how the 2nd amendment was crafted in a different era, where muskets took almost a minute to reload, etc. But so was the 1st amendment, where media only consisted of printing presses, parchment, and ink quills. It took some effort to libel and/or slander someone in the media. Now you can just open up a Facebook account and cyber-bully anyone in a matter of minutes. These days, what does the 2nd amendment mean to people? To some, it's the freedom to defend oneself and his or her loved ones, property, and safety with a firearm. To others, it's a license to sell instruments of death and mayhem all over society. Obviously the 2nd amendment calls for regulation; that's just common sense when you're dealing with firearms. But if we want to preserve any semblance of that traditional freedom, we'll have to agree to more regulation. Otherwise, kiss that freedom goodbye. Tenchusatsu
