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.
  • Ok, let's repeal something else, as well

    Let's just trash the whole stinking Constitution, and start over again.

    That way everyone would get a shot at amending everything at once-but nobody would be happy.

    The Second Amendment does not say "except for those nuts who think they own the right to take out everyone in sight that happens to look bad at them.", which perhaps the Founders did overlook.

    That's what the problem is-the nuts behind the guns, not the weapons themselves.

    Until you can repeal mental illness, we will have this problem. The nuts will use other weapons, such as steak knives, baseball bats, hammers, etc. Outlaw those, too. Might be a lower death rate, but still people will die.
