If you want to change things, just get a constitutional amendment passed. That's all!
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." We can regulate the Hell out of it (all 50 states prohibit convicted felons even being around a gun, and the courts support them even though the Second Amendment does not exempt felons.)
"That's all!" except deciding WHICH new regs to enact. The sole remaining question is whether the GOP goes down with the gun control debates other losers.

Never point a gun at anything you are not going to shoot, nor shoot anything you do not mean to kill

Yeah, uh, no. Not until you do some serious background checks on teachers.

GOP estimates of teacher competence have increased to the point of giving them concealed guns.
