The "stupid punks" who murdered the Aussie were minors and illegally possessed and used their firearms under even the current interpretation of the Second Amendment. They are being prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law. I would also add that they could have just as easily committed their crime with a common kitchen knife. The gun issue is a red herring.
However, apart from your snark, do you have any actual response to my analysis of Second Amendment jurisprudence, cultural trends in the USA concerning firearm ownership and use, the political and legal viability of changing federal and state constitutions and statutes concerning guns, or Australia's own increasing problem of violent crimes committed with knives?
