Your statement is accurate although I might modify it to say until the interpretation of the second amendment is changed, that whole well regulated part that the Robert's court felt was not important in its rulings.

There are two debates which will always be very lively, Politics and Gun Control. There is a balance between gun ownership and reasonable regulation. However because we have these two groups on the far edges of the debate which shout the loudest nothing ever gets done. There are two types of weapons pistols and long guns. I believe the 2nd Amendment was written with the long gun in mind. There are more problems with pistols then long guns. I've been around firearms all my life and I just had to chuckle when I went to Wal-Mart and saw all the pistol ammunition gone. It was also interesting on how many people I talked to that actually believe the Government was coming for their guns. In this day of the internet there is so much miss information its unreal. The problem is much larger then the actual device used. We seem to have become more violent over the years. One thing I know for sure the debate rages on with few solutions.
