Your car remains an unprotected privilege. Like it, or not, the consensus in the judicial system is that gun rights are individual and that as part of those rights is the ability to carry a firearm for personal protection.

You aren’t going to change that law without a constitutional amendment and if the left tries to go that route they’re likely to end up with many other far more radically reactionary changes to the constitution instead.

Want to decrease guns and gun use? Look at how we changed attitudes about tobacco without banning it. Look to decreasing income disparity and wealth inequality. Look at full single payer health care. Look changing the minimum wage to a livable level. Those are the things that will decrease gun violence.
