What are your thoughts on gun control?
What should the government do about guns in light of what has happened this past year, but at the same not violating the 2nd amendment?
Second Amendment:

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.

There has already been another school shooting and we aren't even two weeks into 2013 yet so there's no denying something needs to change.
Personally when I turn 21 I want to purchase a handgun as a self defense measure. Just a 9mm probably, something light and low recoil.
I honestly feel that I would be safer having one. I plan on living on my own by then and I am absolutely terrified of the thought of someone breaking into my home and I am also insecure about my ability to defend myself in a dangerous situation.
With all that said, I do support the government mandating extensive background checks on every purchase of a firearm, banning high-capacity magazines, and also banning assault rifles. For no apparent reason the Republican Party and the NRA oppose these measures.
Thoughts?
