We have to show an ID to buy Sudafed, but the theater shooter is able to get thousands of rounds of ammunition and no one bats an eye.

Something is wrong here. There is no one who needs that much ammunition unless they're waging a war.

I don't believe right to bear arms includes the right to unlimited stocks of ammunition. It's time to bring the abuse of the second amendment under control. And limiting the amount of ammunition people can own and purchase in a year is a reasonable proposition.

At some point the majority of Americans are going to say "enough," and persuade their representatives to pass an amendment banning handguns. And then everyone will lose the right because of the absolutists who won't accept any sensible gun control laws.

Schiller joined NBC News as chief digital officer last year.

It's unclear how this will impact MSNBC TV. The site says business as usual for the cable channel, but does anyone really believe that?
