Here's some news for you -- no it doesn't. Not even close. The 2nd Amendment does not prohibit gun control, only the NRA prohibits gun control. They have bought and intimidated politicians all across this country, and have managed to infest the USA with a gun epidemic. Even the bullshit neoconservative, Republican partisan 5-4 Heller decision recognized that gun regulation is necessary, and entirely Constitutional.
The American people are beginning to see the folly of this gun worship cult-like behavior, and they WILL demand that many of these SYG and concealed-carry bullshit laws be repealed, or strictly regulated based on need, and not "want." The American people will demand more accountability and responsibility from gun owners.
Those gun owners who are already responsible will have absolutely nothing to fear from these measures. The gun "nuts" who frequent Internet boards and shout about their "freedoms," and call for the "tree of liberty to be watered with blood," will find their arsenals dwindling, and their excessive gun habits becoming more and more expensive.
