I agree completely.

Those are actually my two "hot-button" issues for
the amendment process:
dissolution of the Electoral College and refinement of the
right to bear
arms (specifically defining what's to be considered personal
armament).

We've had this discussion (lots and lots and lots) of times
before but I
honestly don't think abridging the freedom will do much of
anything.  I'd
prefer to address the motivations.

Why do American's (well... some Americans) feel the need to
have lots of
powerful weapons?  Other countries with open gun ownership
rarely see that
phenomena, why not?  Until we address/understand the need
this fills I don't
think any legal limitations are going to do a damn thing.

We used to be not-like others.

Probably relates to how our country was formed,
specifically.  We were
trying to fight that history circle, by never allowing the
.gub to
become the monster that .gubs usually become.  Pretty much
what we're
founded on.

Individual liberties and whatnot.  NOT groupthink.
