[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CNN is reporting that the shooter was known to law enforcement (unclear why) and the father recently told law enforcement that the kid didn’t have access to guns.

So many questions. [/quote]

No. Only one question. Why don’t we outlaw guns like every other civilized country?

If you want to argue second amendment, every single gun owner should be registered and subject to some rules and laws regarding a well regulated militia. [/quote]

You are exercising your freedom of expression.  Did you register first?  Was your comment pre-approved by the government  first?![/quote]

It was the Heller decision in 2008 that went off road:

District of Columbia v. Heller (2008)
Author: Antonin Scalia

The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm [b]unconnected with service in a militia,[/b] and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.

U.S. v. Miller (1939)
Author: James Clark McReynolds

In the absence of any evidence tending to show that possession or use of a “shotgun having a barrel of less than 18 inches in length” at this time[b] has some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well-regulated militia[/b], a court cannot say that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear such an instrument.

Presser v. Illinois (1886)
Author: William Burnham Woods

[b]In view of the fact that all citizens capable of bearing arms constitute the reserved military force of the national government, [/b]as well as in view of its general powers, the states cannot prohibit the people from keeping and bearing arms so as to deprive the United States of their rightful resource for maintaining the public security. However, unless restrained by their own constitutions, state legislatures may enact statutes to control and regulate all organizations, drilling, and parading of military bodies and associations, except those that are authorized by the militia laws of the United States.
