I know that the 2nd Amendment states that people have the right to keep and bear arms, and shall not be infringed. The amendment wasn't intended to have 'private citizens' armed with weapons, otherwise the Constitution would be re-worded. There is a big problem in the U.S. with guns in g

eneral. Far to many people die from weapons and something must be done now to prevent future deaths. Ten-thousand, five-hundred, twenty-seven people die a year in gun related incidents in the United States alone. This number, by far, out weighs those gun-related deaths in other countries such as Sweden, Great Britain, and Japan. Guns should have a safety lock kept on them at all times and should always be out of the reach of any children. I know you can't make that a law, it would just take common sense of the parent. In all states, it would be in the countries best interest if you proposed a gun law package like the one Clinton did in Littleton, Colorado.
