Repeal the Second Amendment

The best way to reduce the odds of another blood bath like the one at Virginia Tech is to amend the Constitution and abolish the right to bear arms.

    What's the big deal?

    Get used to it.

    Since we have guns, we will have mass killings every now and then.

    Can't legislate it out because we can't enforce it. We don't strictly enforce even half the laws we have now. I am not sure we enforce 10% of the laws we have now with any consistency.

    So accept reality. Even the Second Amendment is repealed, the mass killings will continue for a long time.
