Look if you want to impose limits on firearms ownership then you have to do so through a constitutional amendment. The Second Amendment protects our God given rights to own a weapon for personal defense and says the government cannot infringe on this right. All one has to do to prove this is read the writings of any of our nations founding fathers. Again, the purpose of the Second Amendment wasn't to grant a person the right to own a firearm because you already have this right as a human being. It was to protect the government from infringing on this right. Every single gun law in this nation is unconstitutional.
If Barack Obama can sit there and say the government can pick and choose and ignore one amendment then what is to stop the government from ignoring others. Imagine if the state of Texas wanted to ignore the 16th amendment (income tax) on the grounds that it discourages productivity or for some other reason. Now imagine the response the federal government would have to that. I know that if this happened I would be moving to the Republic of Texas faster then you can say Neal Stevens.
