It's true a ban might not be effective NOW, after having already flooded the market with firearms, but the problem here is still guns. Or the accesability to them.
And I don't understand why guns have to be so easy to come by? If you have a tactical shooting comepetition coming up, then you won't have a problem acquiring a proper license. I'm okay with people wanting to shoot for fun, just like some people like to cruise around in a Pinto for fun, but they still need a license that shows they know how to drive.

Very well said.
The 2nd amendment was written with respect to a well-regulated militia. It does not apply to individuals. This is why cities, such as Chicago, can ban hand-guns. That said, We've no right, as individuals, to "bear arms."
Even if we did possess such a right, as many Americans believe we do, it wouldn't come complete without restrictions. Our right to free speech, as Tony Boza, former police chief of Minneapolis, says, doesn't allow us to lible, slander, or act to incite a riot. Every single right in the constitution is circumscribed. Not one is absolute.
That said, hand-guns, along with automatic and semi-automatic weapons (in other words, weapons of mass destruction), should be banned.
And you know what makes these things even worse? Remember the Jonesboro Massacre in 1998? That was the one where there was a 13 year old and his 11 year old cousin and they shot up and killed a handful of students. Well, they're out of jail. Walking free. I don't give a shit if they were kids when they KILLED people. Throw away the fucking key.
This is just too weird. And why only in the U.S? Look at Mexico--there is less social security over here, and that's not a big secret. And yet, the last school shooting here happened more than eight years ago, with only two prior to that over the course of twelve years (don't know how accurate my info. is though). I don't understand why a country like the U.S which seems relatively safer than most others can be so vulnerable to school shootings, specially if it's young adults commiting the acts. I just don't get it. It doesn't make any sense.
