I know the right to bear arms is in the constitution, but I think our country would be better off if it were illegal for anyone other than military/police to obtain them. If your average joe shmoe couldn't buy a gun than murder, rape, burglary, all of that stuff would drastically be reduced. Most people wouldn't commit the crimes they do if they weren't able to hide behind a gun. We wouldn't have to worry about columbine shootings, movie theater shootings, someone breaking into our house and shooting us or robbing us at gunpoint.

Would this stop all crime? No. And I'm sure some people would still manage to get guns here and there, but by and far I think the greatly reduced crime rates would justify breaking this constitutional rule.
