Fine by me bro. Get it passed. Tree makes a good point too, repeal the Second Amendment... and last I looked we're still a democracy. So have at it babe. Then my billion dollar baby would really work. I could care less about assault rifles and high capacity magazines. For the same reason I don't sky-dive. I'm an idiot and I'd be the one that blows their f'ing leg off with one putting it in the safe.
Oh, and while we're on the subject, another of my billion dollar (take some Ukraine money) babies in the interim... complete with the math... make sure you read both posts.

2nd Amendment will
never be repealed or changed because America is built on it... it's in our DNA.
While the American "right to bear arms" developed at the time of the Revolution, it grew out of the duty imposed on the early colonists to keep arms for the defense of their isolated and endangered communities.
Seriously, it was the English colony's
right to bear arms in defense against
Native Americans while the colonies were
stealing land from Native Americans.
- "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."
The Constitution was made
after the
Revolutionary War when the people (notice I did not say government) still needed self-defense.
Thus, they still needed to defend themselves against Native Americans and now defend themselves against a
possible corrupt government that may arise from within
or from outside enemies (e.g. Armies from other countries).
Today, many argue that one of the primary reasons why there has never been an invading foreign army on American soil after the revolutionary war is because of the 2nd Amendment...the right for the people to bear arms.
Simply, the problems we have today because of a society that has been changing since the early 1900s immigration era...we're still a country that's defending the land that was stolen from Native Americans but now have a growing fear (paranoia) of a corrupt government...a two-party government.
Thus, the people are
too divided to be able to come together in overwhelming numbers (
more than a majority) to rid of their fears.
Personally, to rid ourselves of the 2nd Amendment is to rid ourselves of the military too because we can not have one
without the other in a world with foreign governments that would enjoy occupying America with their armies.
