The right to bear arms is slightly less ludicrous than the right to arm

Everyone has spoken already about the hideous massacre at Virginia Tech. I know I'm a bit late. But then I found this quote, which made me think about it. I don't know when America will learn, but then, have we really learnt either? We have a ban on handguns - children are still being shot on the street. We had a knife amnesty - children are still being stabbed. I don't know what the answer is. But in the words of Eddie Izzard: "guns don't kill people, people kill people. Well, I think the gun helps..."

The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution has been morphed into something desirable to the NRA. Gun control would be a sensible solution if it already weren't too late (what to do about all the guns already out there?). "Guns don't kill people. People with guns kill people."
Another comment I heard, which made me smile in a not flippant way (I hope) was "what if they heard it wrong, what if it was the right to BARE arms?"
Gives a whole new spin on it...
