Gun Violence Out of Control

Last week in Washington DC, Aaron Alexis, a Navy Contractor, entered a navy shipyard and killed 12 people. A couple days ago Obama spoke about the shooting. He mourned the lost lives and told the people "Sometimes I fear there is a creeping resignation ... that this is somehow the new normal." Obama was referencing the amount of gun violence in America. It seems that every week there is a new shooting, or a new tragedy and the violence just wont stop. 

Singling Chicago out of the entire United States of America, the violence is extremely apparent. Last year alone, 443 people were killed by a firearm. Chicago is among the most dangerous cities in America and a huge reason is because of the gun laws. Like Obama said, violence is so common that it is now "normal".

Violence is so normal that I can't see how we can curb the murder rates without somehow changing our 2nd amendment rights. Traditional american freedoms say that all americans have the right to bear arms but it is potentially dangerous for many americans living in ghettos or areas with high crime rates. 

The homicide rate in England is 1 death for every 100,000 people. In England the gun laws are extremely strict, and the death toll stays low. 

Do you think revising the second amendment would be infringing upon the citizens rights? Do you think Obama should take action?
