The shooting at a community college in Oregon is only the latest in a long line of carnage inflicted by people who are unstable, but who have an all-too- easy access to guns. While the solutions to this problem are not easy, they must be addressed.
It’s too easy to dismiss what has become an epidemic in this country with easy answers like “The Second Amendment is being threatened,” or “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” |

File under "unclear on the concept".
The Second Amendment protects the people's right to arms suitable for military purposes. That was the Framers' intent, and that is what the Supreme Court clarified in 1939, in U.S. v. Miller, ruling that the Second Amendment specifically protected the right to bear arms "that are any part of the ordinary military equipment" and/or whose "use could contribute to the common defense".
So-called "common sense" cannot be used to neutralize a core principle of this nation's ethic. That isn't "common sense" at all - it is reactionary.
And acting upon it in defiance of guaranteed liberty would be facially unconstitutional. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
