>>hmmm...well that must be in relation to the illegal aliens problem which is a totally different problem. I personally think that was more to target racial profiling than anything...-but yes you have a very good point. That or it's about the weed situation - which is legal at the state level in a couple of states but not at the federal level. In any case I was trying to discuss the gun problem - which I'm finding rather difficult to do these days because everyone wants to jump up and down and compare it to something completely unrelated instead of actually finding some solutions to the problem.

>There is an easy and constitutional solution to the problem, do not ban guns for it is very time consuming to see if the ban is constitutional or not, just ban bullets! There is no mention whatsoever in the second amendment stating that the gun must be loaded.

The logic behind it is this: (Copied form http://www.businessinsider.com/second-amendment-bullets-2012-12 )
We have long set limits on the type of arms we are allowed to bear, thus establishing clearly that we have the Constitutional right to do that.
For example, we're not (individually) allowed to own aircraft carriers, tanks, ballistic nuclear missiles, fighter aircraft, or attack submarines.
We're not even allowed to own fully automatic machine guns.*
All of those are "arms."
And yet we have established that, despite the Second Amendment, we're not individually allowed to bear them.
So if we decided to establish that we are not individually allowed to bear semi-automatic assault rifles and pistols while still being allowed to own single-shot hunting guns, this would be perfectly in keeping with how we have interpreted our Second Amendment rights under the Constitution.
But it will still make lots of people scream that we have tromped all over the Constitution, even if we haven't.

..A huge problem here is that people don't seem to grasp the whole 2nd Amendment thing properly. If you try to take one machine gun away from a guy that has 500 of them or 1 bullet away from a guy that's stockpiled 40,000 rounds of ammunition there is going to be some idiot screaming as loud as he can that we have Hitler for a leader and they're ALL coming to take away ALL your rights! aaaahhh!
