What MAY help, is to update the 2nd amendment to reflect the modern age we are living in, not the time it was written. I agree with being able to protect ones person and property. But REALLY, do you need a fully automatic assault rifle to do accomplish that? Up here in the land of snow and igloos what kinds of weapons you can buy at a corner store or that are being given away by banks down in the US, you just simply can not get up here. It would just make more sense to ban or limit the sale of aforementioned assault rifles or ANY full auto weapon peroid. Mind you I don't think that would help much either but what do I know. I'm just a laid back Canadian.
My solution, give eveyone a free hardwood (birtch, walnut, or oak) bat and make it all equal.
