My thoughts on the ruling is that it was right. It's a constitutional amendment, nothing we can do about it.

But I do think things need to change. I do think a new Amendment needs to be ratified. As someone already mentioned, the 2nd Amendment was made at a time when weapons were extremely tame. Now we're dealing with weapons that can get off hundreds of rounds within a minute. That can pierce through just about anything.

Technology has changed and so should our country's laws. It'll never happen since a large percent of this country is stuck in 1930 still. Still believes the Earth is 6,000 years old and negroes threaten their way of life. Believe the founding fathers somehow could foresee hundreds of years in the future. It's why we are the only country in the Western world without national healthcare. Why we are so far from creating technology that could take us off oil. The country just isn't evolving with the times, and we're all going to hit some hard times because of it (and if you're playing the market right now, you already are).
