Slava's Cold Take. Since there are no school shootings going on, you can't accuse me of politicizing a tragedy.

Every single personal firearm in America needs to go. I am not even talking buybacks anymore. Forget that. Confiscation. Everyone.
And it can be done.

Yes, I said no buybacks. You've made a bad investment, so you are fucked. Capitalism, asshole. No different than with stocks.
But Slava, what about #2A? Is your immigrant ass aware of how hard it is to amend the Constitution? Yes. Yes, it is aware of that. Here is good news...

All that needs to be done is to pack SCOUTS with justices who rule that 2A only applies to XVIII flintlock smoothbore muskets. Or, even better, that it means exactly what it says: guns can only be owned by well-regulated militias. All we need is a definition of "regulated"...
Oh fuck, if only we had a foundational document defining this adjective. Whaaa? We do?
Well, I'll be fucked, Federalist No. 29, by my buddy Sasha Hamilton. He was a Puerto Rican opera singer, so you'll hate him, red staters, but fuck you anyway. What does the ole 29 say?

A well-regulated militia, H-Dawg testifies, is disciplined, organized, has a clear command structure and is governed for the purposes of defending the United States. Boom. H-Dawg's out (killed by a law-abiding gun owner in an ongoing East Coast rap battle)...
So, it seems to me that all we need after Chief Justice AOC writes her majority decision, is a statute that stipulates: a) what legally constitutes a militia b) the maximum number of official militiamen per state/population, and, most importantly, ....
c) decrees that all their weapons must be stored in a common arsenal, under lock and key, only taken out for the purposes of training or when deployed.
Boom. Done.
But, Slava, I dare you to go and get it from patriotic law-abiding hicks who will start a civil war!
Done. Fuck them

We've started a civil war before, over a bunch of hicks' rights to a certain type of property, and these hicks today are nothing but cosplaying pussies who throw fits when asked to wear a mask or when a local Costco runs out of peanut butter.
It will be over in hours.
