Well, luckily the Founding Fathers didn't agree with you and forbade
infringement on the right to bear. If you can amend the Constitution
to agree with your stance then I'll have to change my stance as well.
Good luck!

Numerous laws have been passed then upheld by SCOTUS which ban
different types of weapons.

As I have written previously, my proposal about SA weapons might not
happen today or tomorrow, but, as the mass shootings continue and as
the body count increases, it would be foolish to expect things to
remain status quo.

It is also important to remember the second amendment is not inviolate.
With support from the requisite number of states, etc., the
constitution can be amended. The last amendment was ratified in 1992
and was submitted for ratification in 1789, 202 years. Fortunately,
most other amendments take far less time to ratify.

I am not sure how horrific the camel-back-breaking incident will have
to be to finally motivate the nation to change the current absurdity.
For now, all public gatherings, schools, workplaces, shopping centers,
trains, buses, hospitals, airports, theaters, day care centers,
concerts. etc., are in extreme danger.

Yes, from mentally deranged people who have no business owning guns. If
the current laws are followed those incidents won't happen but if the
softness on crime continues anything is possible.
