John Paul Stevens is an American lawyer and jurist who served as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1975 until his retirement in 2010. At the time of his retirement, he was the second oldest serving justice in the history of the Court, and the third longest serving Supreme Court Justice in history.
Concern that a national standing army might pose a threat to the security of the separate states led to the adoption of that amendment, which provides that “a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” Today that concern is a relic of the 18th century.
Interesting discussion on the 2nd amendment, the only two cases that have gone to the Supreme Court, and how it's interpretation has changed over the years. Not as black and white as the gun owners would have you believe.

Just 6 days after the mass shooting in New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said today that the country would prohibit the types of guns and equipment used to kill 50 people at two mosques in Christchurch last week. New Zealand’s largest opposition party said it supported the measures, which Ms. Ardern emphasized would require a buyback of banned weapons in circulation and the regulation of firearms and ammunition.
all these laws are doing is hurting law abiding people. If someone wants to do harm they will use cars,home made explosives,knives, acid the list goes on and on. Its horrible what happened to these people but this isn't going to fix the solution. Crime will go up and no one will report it because that would mean there end all be all idea to this horrible incident isn't working. What the world needs to understand is there are horrible people out there that are going to do horrible things regardless of the laws. Boston bombing is a perfect example how many people were hurt and killed buy a home made explosive device and no one wants to ban pressure cookers.
The real kicker is now some states are allowing the people affected by these tragedies to sue and tack legal action against the gun manufactures like they are trying to kill or hurt people on purpose BUT no one wants to sue honda because some drunk hit 130 on the highway and killed a van filled with people.
