In reply to AI Ward. Is it really so hard to understand, and what on flat Earth does your statement have to do with the point I'm making?

I repeat my question: What do you suggest?
Bear in mind that more than 82,000,000 Americans own firearms, and many of those firearms are semi-automatic, which you insist upon calling assault weapons.

In reply to Allan Ward. Al: The overall problem is too easy access to all kinds of weapons, including assault weapons, for just about anybody, until proven unfit because they have conducted mass murder, which is one mass killing too late. All is justified by what I believe is wrong interpretation of the the 2nd Amendment, which I tried to explain in the blog post above. Who needs assault weapons, for any other reason than to kill as many as possible, as quickly as possible? Why is a deranged 18-year old able to stop by a gun store and buy an assault weapon on his way to a school to commit mass murder? Because the 2nd Amendment says that's OK? Yeah, that makes sense!

Jorg,
Instead of quibbling over the meaning of a sentence written in 18th Century grammar, why don’t you suggest a plan of action to solve the problem of innocents being killed by gunfire?
There are already many gun control laws, but they are often circumvented, and sometimes poorly enforced.
Some horrible mass shootings happened in such a way that current laws did not present an obstacle.
I think it was the Sandy Hook case where the shooter used a gun owned legally by his mother.
So, what do you suggest?
And if you suggest a new law, by what means will it be enforced?
