Once again, a gun control advocate has perverted/distorted the discussion by comparing gun violence in the United States to similar instances in countries where guns are not as prevalent on a per capita basis. It's a little like comparing swimming pool injuries and deaths between Beverly Hills, California and the middle of the Mojave desert. The ratio may be nearly infinite but the statistic is meaningless. Instead, compare overall violent crime statistics.
As to redefining the Second Amendment, there is no need and attempting to do so today opens the door to a host of risks. Besides, I think that our politicians today are not nearly the statesmen we had when the Second Amendment was adopted.
As to exorbitant profits of the gun manufacturing industry, what exactly does that mean? Where should the exorbitant line be drawn for any given industry? What about the exorbitant profits of the pharmaceutical industry? How many people have preposterously high drug prices killed?
