Gun Control (in the US)

There is a part of the Constitution in the US, called the Second Amendment, which protects the recognizes the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Of course, it's very good for people to defend themselves, the safety is one of the most needed social demands, and this would be the good point of the Second Amendment. But there are also some facts that don't seem to be very good: 40 percent of the homes in the USA possess guns. Also, more than 2.000 people die due to firearm related injuries. Uneployment rates, ethnic/religious hostilities, political instability are thought to be the main reasons for those deaths.... So there's a big risk to keep the Second Amendment in this unstrict way it is now, because most likely more guns will be easy to possess, more the death rates will grow...
The best way TO TRY to deal with it i think would be the hand-grip ID and the extremely strict psychological-tendency test for everyone who wants to possess a gun.
