The Bill of Rights.
In the light of the Batman shooting, I expect to hear a lot of media types calling for the repeal or limit on the Second Amendment.
We should say a prayer for the poor people harmed and their families. But we must not allow fear to make us accept the loss of our rights. 
Weapons are NOT going to go away. The only question is who will have them.
For most of history weapons were held by a small elite nobles/ government and the common people were serfs/slaves.
A man told Cromwell, a British dictator, that 9 out of 10 men would oppose him,,,Cromwell replied that he did not care as he had put a sword in the hand of every tenth man.
Give up your right of arms and you are trusting the people with the arms to be nice to you. History does not support that trust.
