I think that the unchanging tenants of the constitution are drilled into peoples heads through their education and its simply incomprehensible to politicians and public servants to change it.
Combine that with an incredibly wealthy and powerful lobby group and you will never get change.
Besides I don't think an assault weapon ban is going to make that much of a difference as it leaves pistols out there.
I think that one answer is around the selling of magazine based weapons, maybe there should be a three shot limit on civilian based weapons.
Maybe leave guns cheap and bullets hugely expensive.
Personally I think that manufacturers should have a civilian weapons tamper proof deactivation system. I mean we're smart enough to put a chip in everything. Put a chip in all rifles and pistols that are designated for civilian sales so that the police can deactivate them remotely. That way if some idiot decides to shoot up a school you can shut down the rifle from afar, or if the police need to raid a house you can deactivate the fire arms before you storm the place.
You have a drive by happening shut down the weapons.
That certainly doesn't help when the weapons come out of China or Israel or Russia, but I'm sure you could convince those manufacturers to help with gun violence.
Add on if someone tampers with the chip the weapons explodes blowing their hands off.

Sometimes I wonder if you're slowly losing your mind.
Most liberal since carter, expensive bullets, deactivating firearm control chips?
Stunned, flabbergasted, speechless, etc.
