3. No, it's the type of reality that must be acknowledged

So we can find solutions which are not constitutionally impossible instead of more of the last 20 years of failure.

Federal possibilities and impossibilities have been very clearly laid out.

You are correct, there are things which could be done. These things do not include (at the federal level) private intrastate sale background checks, assault weapons bans, or any type of registration, licensing, or testing schemes, and a host of other unconstitutional proposals. Concentration on these asked and answered memes and ignoring things which actually are possible will ensure another 20 years of no changes.

There are no other enumerated rights in the Constitution or BoR which have more restrictions than the 2nd amendment.

What some states are doing or have done has absolutely no relevance to what can be done federally.
