I understand why the 2nd amendment was placed in the US constitution in the first place, and I also understand why people feel so strongly about keeping it.
I just think that the US would be better off if it had never been.
Since it does exist, implementing strict gun control at this point is a little like closing the barn doors after all the horses have gone, it's been burned to the ground and a Wal Mart built in its place.
Personally, I prefer living in a country which has significant obstacles to gun ownership, simply because it naturally reduces the amount of guns in the country.
