But no, I won't do a call-out, even if juries tend to ignore them on DU3. I think that rule should have been carried over from DU2.

As to why? For a multitude of reasons. First, it's a constitutionally protected right, so they'd have to be morons to think that a constitutional amendment such as would be required would pass. Second, such idiots don't foresee the unintended consequences of their actions- such a disarmament would only affect those predisposed to follow the law. Criminals? Not so much. Third, even the whiff of such a stupid effort from our party would guarantee rethuglican federal electoral victories for a generation.
