"The Second Amendment Is Not Why The U.S. Doesn’t Have Good Gun Control Policy"

Another shooting. I agree sensible (whatever that is) gun policy is not blocked by Heller or the Second Amendment and have various comments below the article. One suggested gun "regulation" works better than control -- the amendment itself says "well-regulated"! Contra an annoying reply, I'm not suggesting "magical" results here but seems a reasonable way to help normalize gun regulations, to help influence many people somewhat. ymmv.

ETA: I have no easy answers except that no solution will "stop" school shootings but some policies will net improve the overall situation. A comprehensive background check system -- there remains loopholes, issues with data etc. -- does appear basic. Simply banning "assault weapons" will have limited impact but very well can be an aspect of overall policy, including as a symbol that there are reasonable limits. That website has a lot of data.
