That's already illegal, and was illegal when it happened. Not sure what your point is?

There’s easier ways to kill mass amounts of people than a rifle.

And trying to take guns away from the lawful is like trying cars away from non drunk drivers cuz drunks drive cars.

... Or in the real world where the rest of us live, not strawman land, like taking your license and right to drive away if you get a or DWI/DUI - which is what happens to normal people. If you're rich and have good enough lawyers, you can become a congressman.

Cars are licensed, insured, and highly regulated. Do the same thing and we'll be happier than we are now.

Cars aren’t a specifically enumerated right. Also, you don’t need a permission slip to buy one. And you can buy one while underage

Guns aren't a specifically enumerated right either. (Arms are, but that can range anywhere from bow & arrows to nuclear bombs.)

Why is it that you need to be over a certain age to arm yourself? That's not specified in the constitution. If that restriction is reasonable then perhaps more restrictions can be added, such as requiring annual mental health checks.

As far as I'm concerned all gun laws are infringements.

And yes, everything from a rock to a hydrogen bomb should be protected.

So individuals should be able to own nuclear bombs? Ok.
