Let's start the Third Amendment Foundation!
I'd agree that the effort to repeal the Second Amendment would be worth it, if it would be at all effective in practical terms. There are just too many guns in this country. Besides, no background check would have detected the shooter; at best, you'd stop a few. You'd probably slow down the rate that these massacres occur, but that'd be hard to prove, and the political carnage would be terrible. After all, even Canada had a lunatic killing spree a few years ago with a hunting rifle; where's there's a will, there seems to be a way.
These massacres are horribly just part of the American environment; these politicians are making the correct calculation in our imperfect country.
