Our Constitution is not sacred and it is not a Holy Document. It countenanced slavery.
The Second Amendment is no less sacred or holy. It was meant to protect common folks from tyranny, which is all well and good. It doesn't mean we can't license guns just the way we license automobiles.
Both are tools which can seriously hurt someone who doesn't know how to use them. And just as we don't let common folks buy tanks, we also shouldn't let common folks buy machine guns, or anything like them. Those guns are no different than nuclear bombs. They are meant to kill lots and lots of people in a hurry, and we should leave that to governments and madmen, but certainly not to common folks.
If nothing else, common decency dictates we treat common folks with common sense.
