For all that, could it be that it's not a left-right, conservative-liberal issue? Constitutions and Amendments seem as dependant on the practise, the spirit and temperament of citizens as much as the rule.

Two state governors in gun-friendly Vermont and Florida, both Republicans with NRA support way up in the 90s, are legislating today on gun control: ages, background checks, bump stocks, seizing firearms where domestic violence.

As the Republican president has said, enough is enough, the violence has got to stop. As you say, it comes down to jurisdictions where the Supreme Court and others will rule on the law, the Second interpreted one way or another.

That Florida and Vermont governors have changed their positions because of state and national blowback should not make them liberals. They're responding to their citizens, conservative and liberal. Agree?

Canada has a federal gun law.
