Still not convinced, but what do I know.
Seems to me if this country that is governed by the will of the people wants to change access to certain weapon classes, then a constitutional amendment is the way to go, waiting on the SCOTUS could be a long wait.
Something should be done. And I don't think the people are ready to accept my idea of arming more people, including teachers, to reduce mass shootings.
