Thank you for a great essay. With more people voicing their concerns, the second amendment will have to be changed with time. Look at what Australia and Norway did after mass shootings. Let's put more pressure on elected officials by voting!

 

Australia

Firearm controls have been in place following the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. Gun ownership in Australia is not a wide social issue, and major political parties are generally supportive of pro-control legislation (Although parties such as the New South Wales Shooters Party, which represent pro-deregulation, have a small number of seats in State Parliaments).

 

Norway

Firearms in Norway are regulated by the Firearm Weapons Act,[74] with a new secondary law in effect 1 July 2009 providing more detailed regulation.[74]
