Obama heads to Colorado to highlight new gun laws

30. Even a "complete reinterpretation" wouldn't do what you think

The USSC cannot declare gun control laws; all they could do is say the 2nd Amendment doesn't protect an individual right to bear arms. That would free the US Congress to pass laws outlawing whatever firearms they see fit. The idea that they would go to an extreme that even most European countries have not (to ban all firearms and ammo) in a country that has 80 million gun owners and a strong tradition of hunting, is frankly ridiculous. It would last one election cycle, and then the politicians that voted said law into effect would be voted out of office and the laws rescinded. Look at the current gun control bill in Congress; they dropped the AWB because they couldn't get more than 40 votes in it's favor to simply regulate a small class of firearms. Passing a new AWB likely wouldn't conflict with USSC rulings, so the only reason it couldn't get support is because the politicians were concerned about losing their seats.

And bear in mind that Canada and Australia had several high-profile mass shootings themselves which prompted their current gun control laws. However, even without a 2nd Amendment limiting what their legislatures could do, they still allow private citizens powerful weapons for hunting and home defense.

What you're proposing (removing all guns, even those used for legitimate purposes like hunting) isn't even supported by any of the most ardent pro-gun control politicians.
