Impeach SCOTUS justices that make up shitty laws (the new ones will eventually learn the lesson).
Beat qualified immunity back to a good faith belief, AND an objective reasonableness test that an action was in line with both policy and law.
End absolute immunity for malicious acts.
End sovereign immunity. My government was by and for the people, God didn't approve any of it, so it shouldn't have common law protection based on the idea that the infallible author of everything said it was good.
Teach the history of the second amendment in school. The militia was all fighting age males (roughly 12-14, until infirmity) of sound moral character. Well regulated is about being able to respond to things quickly. In other words, keep your guns handy, and we'll all be safer for it.
Allow cannons. When the civil war kicked off, Congress begged and pleaded to borrow a navy from the citizens, complete with heavy guns and armor. There was no epidemic of cannon based violence in inner cities at the time.
Back the interstate commerce clause way the fuck up. Make it taxes on goods, and bans on imports into the country, only.
Add a new amendment to require federal money offered to states to have only requirements relevant to how that money is to be spent. In other words, the US Congress should not be threatening the highway funding of any state that lowers the drinking age below 21.
... I actually seriously wish I could see some cannon-based riots in the cities.
On a side note, do you thinking different demographics from back then might have meant that the population was more responsible with weapons like cannons? Because I can't imagine BLM and Antifa giving out rocket-launchers to diveristy hires would work out well.
That isn't anti-2A, by the way. It is an honest question.
The extremely high cost of a cannon at the time was likely the biggest factor. None of the normal inflation measures work over that kind of time frame, but no one today runs around with transferable machine guns committing crimes for largely the same reason.
If you can afford to put $15,000 into a gun, you're almost certainly planning long term, and making semi reasonable decisions with your life.
It's also worth considering that more people (as a portion of the population) died of homicide at the time, so the founding fathers may have simply thought the deaths from cannon wielding maniacs was worth it in order to have freedom.
Allow fully automatic weapons.

Thank you for the response. This was actually really interesting. I kind of wonder if our Founders kept pet cannon!
