Yeah but some 13 year old kids gonna have alot harder time getting ahold of a gun in if their are stricter laws. Also the Bill of rights really? I mean thats like trying to use a map from 1400 today to navigate. People and society change. I bet if the signers of the Bill of Rights would have been able to look in the future and see what Freedom to bear arms means nowadays they would have changed their minds.

I disagree. The Founding Fathers put in the 2nd Amendment so the people would have the firepower to overthrow the government if it trended toward tyranny. And considering that they felt a tax on tea a good enough reason to fight a war, I'm pretty sure they would consider our current >50% net taxation well north of tyrannical, not to mention the fact that the TSA gets to grab your balls every time you use an airplane, or our various foreign wars.
Alawen, reacting to what's put in front of you instead of what you can't see doesn't make you racist, it makes you human, and this is why the media substantially run our country.
Lastly, to all you gun control nuts, there is simply 0 evidence that gun control actually reduces crime . . . for the obvious reason that criminals don't follow gun laws. Gun control is one of those ideas that is neat, simple, logical and wrong. Read for example:

Implementing gun control immediately caused the crime rate in DC.
