There is only one thing that could have stopped Lanza and that is an armed guard.

Do you want an idiot living next door to you and your family, who owns an AK47 because it makes him feel good caressing it. While he quietly thinks to himself "I could take the whole street out if i wanted to" Or would you much rather have him licenced as a fit and proper person to own such a weapon?... At present a mentally deranged psychopathic person can go in to a gun shop and buy enough artillery to start a war. The good ole boy at the gunshop cant determine his fitness, cus he wants the doe. But i think mabey a group of people at city hall could weed them out in an interview.
When you think about it a place with the civillian population as heavily armed as America would certainly make an invading army think twice., it must be unprecedented.

The second amendment was installed for 1 reason and that is to empower the people against a potential rogue government. If the government does not fear the peoples opinion they will also not care about it. There is already enough of that going on thanks to pile of laws that were installed "for our protection" most notably after 9/11 (patriot act I, Patriot act.II, TSA, Homeland security, camera's) slowly eating into our freedom more and more every day.
Give up on the second amendment and that psycho down the street will be replaced by a psycho government. We can gun down a psycho on the streets but how do we gun down our government without the peoples guns when the gov. has taken them away?
"Already, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid dropped from the main package a proposal to renew and expand the expired assault weapons ban.
The base bill will instead cover universal background checks, strengthened punishments for illegal trafficking and more money for school security.
Items like school security enjoy broad support. But the move to include private sales -- including gun show purchases -- in the background check system remains controversial in some circles. Plus the assault weapons ban, which Republicans most adamantly oppose, is still expected to get a vote as an amendment to the main bill."
