What I meant was, there is a mechanism to amend (change) the Constitution. If enough people agree that people on the no-fly list can't get guns, then we can amend the second amendment to reflect that, and in that case what Obama is proposing wouldn't violate the Constitution. But we have to abide by what the Constitution says.

I mostly agree.
In terms of non-terrorism gun violence, the conversation needs to be had, and we need to discuss (1) common sense gun laws that don't violate the 2nd amendment, (2) talking about the violence we bombard our kids with in movies and video games, and (3) looking at government policies which seem to incentivize the kinds of behavior that lead some to violence. What I mean by this is, everyone in South Dakota has a gun, yet there is almost zero gun violence. We need government programs that encourage people in Chicago, to behave more like people in South Dakota. THAT'S how you improve our gun violence problem. We have a problem. I don't think it's the existence of guns, I think it's an erosion of our moral compass. If Sea Dangles had a machine gun in his house, I would still let my kids trick-or-treat there, because I know he wouldn't hurt them. It's not the gun. It's our moral decay.
