Notably, things are different here in our US constitutional republic, which has rights that cannot be touched by Congress.
Other democracies don't have rights which are untouchable by their parliaments. The Australian parliament can ban gun ownership, and compensate owners for the "takings" exercised by parliament...or not...they could just ban them, and go house to house seizing weapons if parliament passes a law to that effect.
Not so in the United States, absent an Article V Amendment. If you are actually advocating for an Article V Amendment repealing the Second Amendment, then say so, and we can move on, because we both know that will never happen in the United States. Otherwise, I was curious how you might implement your policy with the Second Amendment still in place. I personally don't think it is workable, and you haven't tried to convince me it is workable, so I guess I wonder why you keep bringing up a fantasy of yours as if it is workable policy.
And, be fair: I haven't "pouted" once in this thread. Nor have I argued that I should get to cling to my arms. I have just been asking you questions about the policy you want to implement, and you seem to be worried because you can't answer those questions, so you lash out at me personally.
