" When that Amendment was put in, the country was very young and it was wild, with Native Americans often hostile (with good reason), with wild animals posing a threat, and with various wars (the French & Indian War; the Civil War) taking place. People needed to feel like they were protected, and the new government didn't want to take their personal means of physical protection away from them. The times have changed very dramatically.
I'm not suggesting that guns be taken away from honest hunters, gun collectors, or others who actually need a weapon for protection in proven instances. Today, we have a militia, we have the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force - and those people are all well armed.
But the number of guns in America is getting totally out of control. Kids get guns and get involved in gangs and start killing people. Criminals buy assault weapons, steal, rob, intimidate and slaughter innocent people in ambushes; Congress has failed to stop the manufacture of assault weapons, and the availability of powerful weapons is frighteningly evident.
Another reason Amendment II is out of date is that the National Rifle Association (NRA) uses the Second Amendment to scare their hunting and other members into believing...
That is absurd, of course. But the Amendment should either be edited to suggest that gun owners need to show good reason for having weapons, must show that they have not been convicted of a crime, and must take a test (just like drivers must pass a driver's test before operating a motor vehicle) to show they have all their faculties and that they understand what good judgment is in terms of social responsibility. Now don't take this suggestion to mean that I am advocating taking away people's legitimate guns, because the NRA will be on my case, saying I'm some "gun control freak." I'm not. I just think something should be done soon to monitor future gun sales and gun availability - even though it may be too late to monitor what's already out there in the hands of psychos and kids in gangs.
