Cafeteria Centrist
No need for a new Constitutional Amendment....All to have to do is succeed in passing a constitutional amendment...
The verbiage of the Second Amendment itself will do very nicely.
That's the beauty of it... all that's actually required is...
Interpreting the Second to facilitate the 'regulated' ( 'well' ) aspect of the ultimate National Militia - its citizenry - with respect to firearms
Advocating for a reinterpretation of a provision of the US Constitution, in accordance with American law and tradition, is not treasonous... it's righteous....Or win the civil war you are so treasonously waging...
Threatening to fail to abide by appropriate and lawful judicial interpretation of the US Constitution, on the other hand, more closely approximates treason.
1. I am a Centrist who votes Republican as often as he votes Democrat; siding with the (R)s on some things; siding with the (D)s on others....No one, except you Communists, who are shitting on the first and second amendments in your war to end all civil rights.
2. My political sympathies have zero bearing - zero - on whether The Militia needs to be 'well regulated', or whether you will obey US law.

You'll get to keep your guns; unless you're unqualified to have them; by way of felony conviction, mental instability or similar legal and defensible barrier to ownership.
But you'll have to apply-for and be vetted-for and issued a periodically renewable owner's license...
And you'll be obliged to register each firearm you own, and periodically renew that registration.
Not to mention mandatory training (including refresher training once every 5 or 10 years) for each type of firearm you own...
Limits on the number of firearms you may own at one time and limits on the amount of ammo you can buy...
Extremely tight controls on firearm sales, transfers and disposals - subject to audit by law enforcement - with severe penalties for improper secure storage or failing to report a theft or loss in a timely manner.
You (owners, and the industry, and advocates) have had decades to fix this yourselves, and you've failed miserably; failing to adapt the exercising of your (our) right to bear arms, to the public safety needs and firearms technology advances of our present age.
Too many innocents have died because of your negligence and recalcitrance, because access has been so easy and because control has been so lax, that the worst of our society can use firearms to wreak havoc upon the rest of us.
And, this suffering has accelerated, and continues to worsen with each passing mass shooting and with each passing mortality milestone in inner-city $hitholes.
The Nation has reached a tipping point.
The next time the (D)s gain control - and that may be a while, given that the little pansies are running-about clue-less at this point - they are going to take care of this; compelled to succeed rather than fail, as they have so oftentimes failed in the past, as their constituencies force them to rediscover their balls and actually get something done in this context.
The matter is going to be taken out of your hands, and the solution is going to be shoved down your throat - all within a legal framework and making reliance upon the US Constitution.
Enjoy your present 'majority' while it lasts, in this context, because it could very well be your last gasp, defending an unregulated firearms playing field.
Much of the rest of The Nation is determined that we 'grow up' in this respect, and, if need-be, you'll be dragged kicking and screaming and pissing and moaning, into the New Age.
Enjoy contemplating that prospect, because it's coming, whether you like it or not... a matter of "when", not "if".
