useless today, except for the carnage it causes

I suggest that the 1st Amendment causes more carnage. If you consult your
copy of the Constitution, you'll find in the 1st Amendment:
* Freedom of a religious speaker to say anything he pleases
* Freedom of a speaker to incite a crowd
* Freedom of someone with a printing press (or blog) to exercise the masses

I suggest that any one of these has more potential for violence than the
right to bear arms.
