Things change.
Do you think if the founding fathers of the USA had Assault Weapons that can shoot in excess of 150 rounds a minute, they'd write the 2nd amendment word for word as it's shown on the constitution?

They can regulate all they want, criminals do not follow the law. whats so hard to understand about this? ban certain guns all u like, that only means law abiding americans will not have those weapons, only criminals willing to shoot a large mass of unarmed, defenseless people will have these. Do not take away my 2nd amendment, i choose to protect myself thank you very much.

Also there is a new type of "criminal" in your society today. He is the one no one suspects, not even his parents. Things have changed.

No they wouldn't be still alive, because someone who wears body armor, Intent on a shoot out with police( who else was he expecting to bae a gun in the school), doesn't just commit suicide when the coppers show up. That lacks logic.

“Why should I or the N.R.A. go sit down with a group of people that have spent a lifetime trying to destroy the Second Amendment in the United States?” said Wayne LaPierre, the longtime chief executive of the National Rifle Association.
He named Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has almost no role in gun-related policies, and Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.
“It shouldn’t be a dialogue about guns; it really should be a dialogue about dangerous people,” Mr. LaPierre said, adding that his group has supported proposals to prevent gun sales to the mentally ill, strengthen a national system of background checks and spur states to provide needed data.
