QUOTE Assault weapons bans are only part of it. No one thing is going to fix the gun problem in this country. That's not even high up on my list of cares because if you're a responsible person with a shotgun you're more than likely going to be just as responsible with an AR-15. You have to figure out a way to keep them out of the hands of the mentally ill. Japan only allows shotguns only after getting a license including a background check, completion of safety course, passing a written and practical test, a psych test, and verifying that they have secure storage. They've had 11 gun homicides in the last year, compared to the +9,000 in the US. Their policy is on the extreme side and would die a painful death if anyone tried to enact it in the US, but Australia and the UK also passed huge gun reform after massacres in their countries with huge decreases in the numbers of gun deaths. In the US, what, you need to just apply for a gun license, and as long as you don't have a history of shooting people up or extremely violent behavior you can get one? Really?
Are you one of those peoe that believe the 2nd amendment is about hunting?

QUOTE I think the two big questions that have arisen from this mess are:
1) Why was someone that obviously volatile and dangerous NOT in an institution, and
2) Why did Mom have an assault rifle, knowing how volatile and dangerous her kid was? Where did you hear that the man was volatile, or dangerous prior to this?
Mark Tambascio, another family friend, said he believed Lanza's mother, Nancy, had become increasingly concerned in the last few months about Lanza's emotional and behavioral issues.

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Explain to me how gun laws in the US are in any way well-regulated?

The term "well regulated" was referring to militia men having proper rifle, ball and powder.
Explain " the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed
Please.
