If the US wasn't so hung up on the Constitution guns would have already been banned. They give basically anyone extreme executive power, none should have that.
In countries where gun control laws do exist even military personnel are not allowed weapons outside of assigned duties. Partially because anyone can go mad, like this, but mostly because administratively it's easier to just say no one should have a gun then to try and work out who has a legitimate exception.
I'd really prefer we stay hung up on the Constitution. Lotta good stuff in there about not trampling your citizens and such...
The Constitution isn't the ultimate authority in the universe it's just what people 200 years ago thought would make a good country.
It's extremely amperable but it has basically nothing to do with her current world. It's extremely amarable but also utterly ridiculous to apply its principles to the current political system.
HOW DARE YOU!? The constitution is perfect as it is and should never be amend... No let's never change it (again)!
