The massacre at Virginia Tech has spawned a quick alarmist postion from the far political right.
The neo-cons are more prone to protect their interpretation of the second ammendment rather than addressing the atrocity itself. They claim that the secon ammendment cannot be relinquished or changed as it is an integral part of our politcal foundation. They are intellectually disengenious to retort this way. The second ammendment was written to protect the common person from government tyrrany. Does anyone think a tech-9 will stop tyrrany in the modern world?

Interesting controversy. On one level, the 2nd Amendment does seem pretty direct: "shall not be infringed" sounds a lot like "must not be limited in any way."
Notice also that the document reads "arms," not guns. Does this apply to AK 47's, anthrax and fissile nuclear materials?
