I hope my concern is being understood here. Unless those who support the second amendment can come up, and argue effectively, for solutions to reduce the amount of these issues (and get them to work), the political climate is going to result in assault weapons bans, and the second amendment being threatened. This is not an issue you can argue merely intellectually about, but a practical issue that needs to be addressed or things will change, I don't see the NRA's argument that violent videogames and arming schools is sufficient answers either:

And here’s another dirty little truth that the media try their best to
conceal: There exists in this country a callous, corrupt and corrupting
shadow industry that sells, and sows, violence against its own people.
Through vicious, violent video games with names like Bulletstorm,
Grand Theft Auto, Mortal Kombat and Splatterhouse. And here’s one:
it’s called Kindergarten Killers. It’s been online for 10 years. How come
my research department could find it and all of yours either couldn’t or
didn’t want anyone to know you had found it?
Then there’s the blood-soaked slasher films like “American Psycho”
and “Natural Born Killers” that are aired like propaganda loops on
“Splatterdays” and every day, and a thousand music videos that
portray life as a joke and murder as a way of life. And then they have
the nerve to call it “entertainment.”

Is what the NRA argued sufficient? Is the problem violent videogames, or the fact that schools aren't armed?
