Should Americans reevaluate gun laws?

The Second Amendment to the US Constitution states,

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Differing interpretations of this Amendment are at the heart of the contentious issue of gun control.
The Founding Fathers who wrote the Constitution believed that an armed militia was needed to protect individual liberties. In fact, the opening battle of the American Revolution at Lexington and Concord was won by armed militia—commoners who picked up their rifles at a moment's notice.
In 1871, the National Rifle Association (NRA) was founded. It had a modest beginning, and it popularized shooting as an enjoyable sport. By the late twentieth century, it had become an extremely powerful lobby. In recent years, even modest gun control laws have been defeated by intense NRA lobbying.
Americans do need to re-evaluate their gun laws. The "Arms" mentioned in the Second Amendment are not comparable to modern-day weapons. In fact, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt knew this by the 1930s. He wanted to get machine guns off the streets, so he supported the passage of the National Firearms Act and Federal Firearms Act. The 1994 Assault Weapons Ban was also intended to get the most lethal weapons off the streets. Due to NRA opposition, the 1994 law was allowed to lapse in 2004.
Laws regulating the most lethal rapid-fire weapons do not infringe on hunters's or sportsmen's rights.
