They always gloss over those first four words of the 2nd amendment.

I say they should regulate that all guns be kept in a verified secure gun safe unless when in use for sport or recreational activities.

They should regulate that all guns must be registered, the owner should take a required course on the safety of firearms before purchase, in other words be licenced, and a through federal background check be completed before anyone can buy a firearm. Require that owners must take out liability insurance for their firearms.

Make it illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to buy or possess any firearm.

Those are not infringements, they are safety regulations.

“The gun lobby’s interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American people by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime.”
