We already have had tremendous amounts of gun control enacted, and just in our lifetime. In the past 50 years, fully automatic weapons have been tightly restricted, to the point that a friend of mine who found a Tohmpson Tommy gun in the wall when remodeling his house was threatened with jail time for not turning it in immediately. It was confiscated with no compensation. All new firearms sold must be registered. All buyers have to pay for, and pass a background check. Certain types of firearms (assault weapons) were banned for a period of time. And the list goes on and on. In California there is a magazine capacity limit and some weapons are banned completely. If you had told my father that one day he would have to go to a school, pass a written test, and pass a proficiency test to be able to throw his 22 single action revolver loaded with rat shot in his truck or tackle box legally, he would have called you nuts. In my opinion we haven't stopped the march toward a total ban. But answer this, after the Ft. Hood shootings why weren't there calls to remove all access to weapons not being used at the time for training on all military bases?3
Don't get complacent, and don't underestimate the power of doing nothing!
