I agree completely. Those are actually my two "hot-button" issues for the amendment process: dissolution of the Electoral College and refinement of the right to bear arms (specifically defining what's to be considered personal armament). We've had this discussion (lots and lots and lots) of times before but I honestly don't think abridging the freedom will do much of anything. I'd prefer to address the motivations. Why do American's (well... some Americans) feel the need to have lots of powerful weapons? Other countries with open gun ownership rarely see that phenomena, why not? Until we address/understand the need this fills I don't think any legal limitations are going to do a damn thing.
