An Argument for Gun Control

Throughout the world, America is seen as a country full of crazy gun nuts. This is deeply saddening as a person who is disgusted by the lax gun laws, and loathes the very existence of the NRA. Now, I respect the 2nd amendment, just as any other person who enjoys constitutional law, but the American obsession with guns has reached a point of extreme overkill to the point where people won't leave their house without their gun, and people are armed at a level comparable to a U.S. Infantryman.
The Founders had no clue the eventual mass advancement in Weapons Technology, to the point where tens to hundred can be slaughtered in less time than the duration of reloading a musket (which can take some time). People complain about the governments attempts to ban assault rifles, claiming it a breach in the 2nd amendment. Yet we cannot own a grenade launcher, suppressed weapon, or automatic weapons, even though the 2nd amendment calls for a well regulated militia. This is because we were sensible about what the typical person should be allowed to own. You can't own a fighter jet, even though the 2nd amendment calls for a well regulated militia because a. This is insensible, and b. There is no need for a public, well regulated militia anymore, especially not with that kind of power in the hands of gun loving nuts.
Today, there is not real need for people to be armed for warfare. Thanks to police, homeland security, FBI, CIA, and the national guard, there is little fear for national or local security outside of criminals. Other people who own guns. Still, a handgun can kill from quite a distance and fires 12-15 rounds semi-automatic. This should be sufficient enough for self-defense, and if not then I believe you really shouldn't be able to own a gun because you can't even handle the simple task of properly aiming and shooting a god damn handgun.
Overall, mass shooting have become more common, guns laws are becoming looser, people in other countries think we sell guns in vending machines. This is just shameful. I hate living in a country labelled a warmongering, gun obsessed, selfish menace to world peace. People who say these things aren't wrong either, and I hope others are just as disgusted by this fact as I am.
