Yeah. Now one knows why I just step up to the plate an favor repealing the 2nd Amendment as a gun grabber. There is no good way to finesse the 2nd Amendment, except through what I would consider judicial activism.
Hopefully, NYS's and NYC's outstanding stats regarding the lowest gun deaths in the nation I believe, will not be eroded over time, and the places regress to the more Texas like levels of gun deaths. That would be most unfortunate.
Your proposal (which many others here support) is a proposal to strip me of the right to effectively defend myself at the moment I will need this the most should I not be fortunate enough to live in the right state. Me, and millions of others of law-abiding citizens. I'm trying to make this as impersonal as possible, but if this idea actually went through it would reduce my ability to defend myself, and it is frustrating that people can't acknowledge even the fact that such a proposal is coming at my epense (in part).
If elections have consequences, constitutional amendments have greater consequences. Once done, they require supermajorities in both Houses of Congress to undo the damage. Law-abiding citizens will end up defenseless for their entire lifetimes. Security systems are not defense. 911 is not defense; not when the police will be there in minutes, but the armed criminal is already where you are.
