The gun manufacturers could make a huge statement for a sane step to eliminating weapons that are clearly not intended for personal protection or hunting by mutualy agreeing to only sell those types of weapons to the military and law enforcement agencies. Obviously the argument would then ensue about infringement of all kinds of freedom. But the Second Amendment starts with,"In order that there be a well regulated militia".You can interpret that several ways {defense against a tyranical government,preparation for the citizen soldier during a foreign attack},but I doubt the framers envisioned a society where massacres are becoming commanplace. At least by selling only to authorized agencies, it would be much more difficult for the "criminals" to obtain them. Every citizen could still possess firearms for protection and hunting. Such a reasonable idea will never even be considered ,because the NRA {it should be called the NRMA,National Rifle Manufacturers Association} will threaten their political minions in Congress,and the extreme right wingers will lead the clarion call,"Obama's coming to take our guns".
