Elvis,
Our founding fathers didn't write the second amendment into law - they listed some of our rights to remind the government that they were supposed to protect those rights. They are doing the exact opposite.
The rights existed before the constitution and before the government. The government has no power to restrict them at all.
There are background checks in place to keep the mentally insane and felons from getting guns but when a felon is found with a gun they confiscate the gun but don't prosecute the felon. In order to be insane you have to have it adjudicated. That takes a report by a "designated reporter" (someone with a degree) to tell the police he or she believes you are a danger to yourself or others. Then they take the crazy person in for an evaluation and a judge hears the testimony and only then is there a lawful reason to keep them from getting a gun. If at any time after that they are shown to be in good mental health then they have access to guns again.
Even a felon can ask a court to reinstate his or her rights and qualify to purchase a gun.
It is far easier to take guns from law abiding citizens than it is to arrest and convict criminals who use them.
Laws don't affect criminals - more laws won't solve the problem. Even if the criminals couldn't get guns they would still find a way to kill and threaten people. More people are beaten to death without any weapons that are killed with rifles in the USA. If you include all violent crimes the USA has a lower violent crime rate than England. That is because people have guns and the right to defend themselves here.

Too bad the people don't read this and start acting on it (just a bunch of sheep) too many free hand outs.
