The supreme court has ruled more than once that individuals to own guns is a right per the 2nd amendment see District of Columbia v Heller (2008), they also ruled that requiring gun locks and a requirement for guns to be kept unloaded violated the 2nd amendment as well. The government needs a reason to restrict guns from people and we do this based on age, mental capacity, criminal history etc. But the problem is that people can get a gun illegally pretty easy. How can we reduce this while maintaining an individuals right to own a gun?
Then you've already changed the Constitution. Congrats.
