Why America must win the battle on gun control

Your editorial totally, and sadly, misses the point. The problem with gun policy/control in the US lies in the misinterpretation of the Second Amendment. This amendment was written for another time and place when the still-new republic, facing dangers of an invasion from without, and having not much of an organised army, gave citizens the right to arm themselves and organise a militia.
Since there is a less-than-zero chance of the US being invaded (from Mexico? from Canada? from North Korea? from Iran?) the Second Amendment should, by all rights, be abrogated. That it has not been done so is a reflection on the country’s feckless politicians and, in this regard, a docile media.
