80. NO
Look at what happened during the Clinton Administration. After he passed the crime bill that included gun control and a ban on assault weapons. The number of gun crime went down. We should never abandon gun control. It is okay for someone to own a gun, but guns should not be in the hands of people who are likely to use them to commit crimes. It does not hurt anyone to wait 30 days to get a gun. In addition, the 2nd amendment does not say everyone has a right to bare arms it claims people in militias have the right to bear arms. It seems as if the only militias we have now are the police and the military. So it seems as if a large amount of people misinterpret the 2nd amendment.
