Another gun massacre in the US

..

View as human sacrifice practice of the US right?

I don't think the first one is likely. What would be the point in, say, legislating that climbing trees, going for a run or doing a headstand is legal?
Does it have to be repealed, or just modified? Bring in licensing and allow anyone who gets through a rigorous testing regime to get one.

The Second Amendment says the US government cannot make laws to stop people from owning guns. Until it's repealed, there is always a danger that any gun control law can be struck down by the Supreme Court.

I think you need to tell us what your definition of "strict" is. Reading that list, none of the laws mentioned seem especially strict to me.

Relatively strict - the sort of laws that the gun-control lobby would like to see nationally.

I think your generalising too much. There are some in the gun control lobby that would like to see laws that strict, but there are also some that would like to see laws as strict as the ones in the UK. Of course they know there is no chance of such laws in the near future.

Interesting video from Full Frontal.

A correspondent interviews people going in to the NRA convention. Some of the highlights are discussing the question of whether it is too soon to talk about the Texas shooting. When people say yes, she asks if it is too soon to talk about Parkland or Sandy Hook.

The section about the Second Amendment is also quite telling. None of the interviewees knew what it actually says.

That is a very interesting video.  Of course, Americans do not understand irony.

I suspect many NRA members consider that unless there is a further constitutional amendment which gives children the right to achieve adulthood without being shot then school shootings will be commonplace.
