Guns will not become significantly harder to procure in the USA, regardless of any laws passed (which never have teeth, as congress knows who butters the bread).

How do you know this though?
I mean, it would be entirely new ground.

Not only does the USA produce over 5 million guns a year, there are already more than 300 million guns in circulation.

Another comparison - but here, there was a paid hand-in. Yielded a lot of results.
But yeah either way agree with it or not, The second has been in place for a long damn time - I don't see it going anyplace. I just think that moves ought to be made to regulate things a little bit more.
Like really, there's no reason for a person to own a weapon that can rack up *that* high a headcount. It's not as though the US is at risk of a full scale military invasion . Right now, altering the specifics of the amendment would only really result in less life lost.
But hey, I agree - if there's that many weapons circulating legal and otherwise, if you're gonna own a gun, sure. Owning an arsenal or death machine? Just not really well advised.
