OP
Sales/rights might be moot before then due to the increased ability to build lethal weapons at home

3D printing and ghost guns are already a huge problem. Will only get worse with time as materials and equipment improve and cost comes down.
Once effective guns can easily be made at home, repealing the second and any laws we might want to pass becomes moot.
Worse, pay attention to what is being done in Ukraine with converting hobby drones. In the future we might end up wishing that these kinds of terrorists still just used assault rifles.
The future is very grim unless we can unfuck ourselves as a society.

so that these chucklefuck gun humpers can better understand it.

Only arms. Its illegal to carry swords, brass knuckles. No problem with a ban on tactical nuclear arms. Just guns.
