I totally agree with the NRA here.
It's time to start passing gun legislation that defines who can be members of regulated militiae, and what types of weaponry those members can access.

The bill of rights uses "the people" as a collective noun & uses "person" to reference individual rights ∴ "the people" can legislate it.
TATFU: there can't be a blanket ban on all weapons.
You can restrict who has access to them to ensure they're used in the public interest.

And _The People_ can demand mental health checks to weed out sociopaths + predators who shouldn't possess weapons to determine fitness to belong, & ongoing community service + training as part of being a member of a 'well-regulated' militia that serves the public interest...
... just like the military is supposed to do.
Should the people we allow to carry weapons within our borders under the guise of 'security' put us at greater risk than the people we task with doing the same overseas?

And any jurisdiction should be able to pass a law that mandates only law enforcement and trained security/militia members in uniform can open carry.
You take out a ballistic weapon in public otherwise...
you are the threat to domestic security.

So ... regulate the militia(e).
The rest will fall into place.
