2nd Amendment: The Right To Kill People?, Is it time to amend the US Constitution? Options

[hardbodyactiv]

Considering that USA have more deaths by the deliberate use of firearms than all 21 affiliated countries in Europe, Canada and Australia...approximately 500,000,000 (five hundred million) people, do you not think that it is about time that the US Constitution was amended to outlaw the purchase and use of firearms and restrict their sale to private individuals only for the purpose of hunting and only allowing these to be of the shotgun or rifle variety?

Long question I know and perhaps a bit deep...but most of you will at some time or other encounter a firearm incident if you live in the Continental US and it is even more likely if you live in certain urban areas or states such as Texas, Florida, California or New York. Perhaps this is due to State in addtion to Federal legislation and also perhaps an explosive mix of different social & ethnic backgrounds.

Please don't just post yes or no as you must have a reason to give an answer

well if we mess with the second ammendment it means that we can mess with the first, and messing with the bill of rights at all is just un-american. but, as you should know, there are restrictions on the first. there should also be restrictions on the second.

for example: Keith Watts was shot to death outside of Carrick High School in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, shortly after the ban on automatic weapons to civilians was lifted. he was shot with an automatic assault riful. how many hunters do you know that need an uzi? i'm sure that keith isn't the only person to be killed by a weapon of unnecescesary power, either.

i personally am very against guns. their only purpose is to hurt and kill. and i'm very anti-hurt/kill.
