Your right.
I was watching the John Stewart show and he had this guy on - Ed Costa I think his name was - and he said that we have made changes to society without having to change the Constitution... Racial discrimination against blacks and gays; Cigarettes are still legal but such taboo that most of us don't do it. This is what we'll need to do with firearms - make it so it is more taboo and less of a sport.
And people might not notice this but there is already a change coming on. It's starting in the schools, where kids are seeing that shootings have become common place. They talk about this stuff in school, and they see it on TV. The next generation coming up - the ones who will grow up thinking that everyone gets an award even when they come in dead last - will grow up thinking that firearms are evil, and most will shy away from them.
I honestly don't know if that's good or bad.
