The 2d amendment isn’t going away. The registration of firearms is no more intrusive than registration of your vehicle before you can drive on a public road. The common sense approach to gun control lies in utility and availability not unlimited access. A well regulated militia being necessary...gives some insight that the framers were looking toward security and defense not private ownership of any and all destructive devices just to satisfy some gun obsessions. As a Retired Federal Agent, I understand that legally owned firearms are used in violent offenses just as often as illegally owned ones. Personal management should be a point of pride for each legal gun owner and if registration or some other tools is used to help legal owners stay in compliance with legal obligations, we should be ready to embrace our legal requirements.

From the Heller Decision for those that haven’t taken the time to read it but feel compelled to critique my assessment of a problem
of gun proliferation:

the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court's opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller's holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those "in common use at the time" finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons.

Heller also expressed that the right was not unlimited and that common sense practices that could be considered when appropriate. Regulation of sales, prohibited possession by some people, obligations on proper carry, qualifications for use. It’s not an inalienable right to possess a firearm. For those that demand this to be true, I can inform you that it is not so.
