Gunsanity

There is an extremely vocal crowd of gun-loving Americans out there. They have succeeded in turning a lot of the country into the Wild West. Evey day we here about another mass shooting incident. In any other civilized country people would realize that making guns available to anyone who wants one is recipe for disaster. In Australia it only took one such incident to get laws passed severly restricting gun availability. There is no justification for the easy availability of guns in our country. The 2nd Amendment clearly states that the right to bear arms is in the context of a "well-trained militia". It's obvious that meant you can have a gun with proper training and oversight and responsibility. The authors of the 2nd Amendmendment certainly could not have foreseen a future where there are more guns than people in the United States.
