Gun Control...leads to tyranny

Here's the argument on gun control in a nutshell. One side says "the Constitution says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed and by passing ANY law we're contradicting the constitution." the other side says "we need smart comprehensive laws that will protect mentally ill people from owning a gun and we need to protect from children being killed"....

Here's the thing: Yes, our Constitution says there shall be no infringement on our right to keep and bear arms. The Supreme Court has affirmed that this is an individual right (although they are one branch of government and NOT the last word on anything). Here's the perfect compromise: IF restricting gun ownership and the purchase of ammunition is the answer then pass a Constitutional Amendment that amends the 2nd Amendment to define the rules for gun ownership. All we're saying is FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION AND STOP MAKING THINGS UP AS WE GO JUST TO APPEASE SOME GROUP OF PEOPLE. We either have the rule of law or we don't.....and if we don't, the United States of America as it has existed for 200+ years is gone.
