I hope that was a joke. But if not, note that changing the Constitution doesn’t require large majority support of the total population, it requires a largew majority of states to go along with it. An amendment needs two thirds of both houses of Congress, which means it needs 67 senators to vote in favor and then it needs to be ratified by 3/4 of the states. And something as anti-gun as you suggest will >never get that kind of support, nor should it.

That wasn’t entirely a joke. I’m well aware of the process for constitutional amendment, but I can also imagine what a few more decades of NRA offensiveness and stand your ground cases will give us, not to mention further innovations in bad craziness like the recently passed GA law.

And I’m deadly serious that what will move the public opinion needle on this is suitably “innocent” victims of gun insanity as opposed to the statistical facts that I personally view as being more significant.
