While I agree with you, I think that the basic reason that things don’t go that way is that advocates of dramatically stronger restrictions on firearms know that they don’t have the three-quarters of states necessary to do a new amendment, so the only way for them to get restrictions is to try to push through laws and hope that they don’t get ruled by SCOTUS to be a violation of the Second Amendment.

Not endorsing it, just saying that there’s a reason that you don’t have serious efforts to repeal the Second Amendment or the like.
