Unlikely, on account of how the the fetish and mythology is recent while possession is not, and we don't see shooting people as a valid method of conflict resolution.
Broken record, but, if we want to deal with our gun problem, we're going to have to deal with the gun problem we have. If we want to deal with the political problem we have, it's not that americans have too many rights or the wrong rights (we have all the rights, for the record, not just those rights listed in that dead, dead document) - it's that half of our government is actively radicalizing their constituency towards domestic terrorism.
