Reduce gun violence? There's one big thing we need to do.

Bradford T. Conway wrote a letter to the New York Times yesterday in which he confronts the key issue. 

... It’s well past time to start a conversation regarding the repeal of the Second Amendment.

The Second Amendment has become a dangerous anachronism, drafted in the 18th century for a sparsely populated frontier nation that had no police force to speak of and where flintlock muzzleloaders were state-of-art weapons. Ours is not that world.

I am not calling for the outright ban and confiscation of firearms (though I’d like to); I am suggesting that repeal of the Second Amendment would remove any constitutional impediment to regulating firearms as we do automobiles....NYT

We might also want to teach the meaning of the word "freedom."
