I have my various beliefs about how guns-in-America should be organized. But the whole issue is not at the top of my list. Dealing with the destabilization of the climate, and protecting our constitutional order are my main concerns. But I believe a lot of other issues have more bearing on the health and well-being of American society than the gun issue.
As I see it, those people for whom those “Second Amendment rights” are paramount are making a bigger deal of the guns issue than is called for.

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
