Also I want to focus around the privilege vs right argument.
I do agree with you, but by definition, its a right, sad but true. Due to the second amendment you have a right to bear arms and it works backwards from there, in terms of defining when your right can be overturned.
However adding an amendment to an amendment is going to be a huge fight that will have to pass every level of the courts and not just the Senate and Congress and the President.
At one point, I read that social services in the US are considered the third rail of American Government, basically if you touch it you die.
American gun ownership rights are not only the third rail, but the overhead electrical wire.
