Commentary: We need to have a paradigm shift with guns

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

The Second Amendment has been debated and litigated ad nauseam. (I suggest reading the Wikipedia history.) However, I do not intend here to debate the amendment. I do, however, argue the amendment does have limits and it doesn’t say that guns cannot be regulated!

Gun regulation is not gun control. (The NRA will argue differently.) Regulation is a reasonable objective. In an ordered society, almost everything is regulated to some degree.
