First of all, you have not presented any solid, logical, and reasonable argument why we should limit the accessibility of firearms at all.
Second of all, there is NO solid, logical, and reasonable argument as to why we should limit the accessibility of firearms at all. Ultimately, whatever measure you propose to restrict access to firearms is predicated on your ability to enforce these measures and have people comply.
How do you have people comply? Guns. More specifically, the enforcers have guns while the people being enforced have no guns with which to retaliate.
The argument for any kind of gun control will always be that no one except certain people should have access to firearms.
It will NEVER mean ALL people should have no access to firearms because there will be a need to enforce laws and protect interests. These laws and interests are enforced and protected by firearms. The people who decide 'who will have access to firearms' will, of course, be the government since they are the people in power. That is already happening anyway with the gun control laws already in place.
Now if the people in power decide to stop protecting your interests, or worse, decide to send their guns to take away your interests, guess what? You have nothing with which to protect yourself. Imagine the June 6 Insurrection on your doorstep and you have nothing but your self-righteous indignation to protect you against the Trump supporters on the way to lynch your trans kids.
But if you are armed, you become a harder target. Sure, you may be overwhelmed in the end by the power of the state. However, you will be taking bodies with you, and the government is ultimately comprised of cowards. That's why cops will arrest law-abiding citizens but do nothing against well-armed criminals and gangsters. That is why cops are now enforcing Twitter laws instead of law and order on city streets.
Sure, every constitutional amendment can be amended. How are you gonna enforce it? Do you have an army with guns? No? Then you should STFU.
What is the argument for allowing assault rifles which are designed for mass murder and not simply limiting weaponry to a standard pistol - for self defense alone in one's home? Freedom of choice? Nonmonopoly? Variety? Right of the vendor?
