Plenty of these ideas are good ones except an outright ban and a constitutional amendment. I don't think banning guns penalizing responsible legitimate gun owners too. And the current wording and historical context of the 2nd amendment is completely ignored so I don't see how a new one would matter.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow what wording is ignored?

@MasterLee Well the bit about a well ordered militia for one has been completely ignored.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow which is separate. No ambiguity. Might read heller.

@MasterLee Actually it is only considered separate because someone arbitrarily decided that centuries after the fact. It is not separate if one understands English grammar and if you actually read all the supporting historical record and don't pretend it is a religious text with no context that needs to be "interpreted." The current interpretation is basically a massive exercise in ret-coning to justify the current popular narrative popularized by the NRA hardly a neutral or even legal body.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow thats what people who do not like it say but it is settled law.
