but there are so many alternatives to arming everyone or no one.
a gun that operates only in a certain location (eg within the scope of a wifi network). a gun that reports its location and authenticates the user. a system of licensing for narrow categories of user and use.
the problem is making a simple, constitutional type of statement which applies brilliantly only to an eighteenth century environment.
the output of that kind of model is a ridiculous level of gun violence in a twenty-first century setting. it is obvious that the extreme notion of almost universal access is a poor solution. there's a huge middle ground to explore.
