I would be against it. I might even fight it using my guns if I thought there was any chance of victory.
A lot of people think the 2A should have been the first because the others depend upon it. It’s naive given history to trust governments even elected ones. It is also unrealistic to believe a popular uprising would also fail given our modern military. Louis 16th’s army was more than adequate if they were willing to wholesale slaughter their own citizens. Any army fighting it’s own people will fragment and often switch sides. Trusting them to do so without an armed citizenry is being too trusting.
I do appreciate that you admit truly ending the violence by cutting the supply of weapons is futile unless done so wholesale.
We have a sick culture and fixing that would help a lot. Red flag laws can’t hurt. Build an app for verifying anyone that wants to buy a gun anywhere.
A very rare breed of crazy has learned they can hurt us and get fame by killing what we treasure most. It’s often done by otherwise non-criminal citizenry so prevention is hard. For now I would fortify the schools and I would set expectations for those guards.
Sadly the police lingered for almost an hour outside in TX. I can’t imagine as a private citizen even if I had only a knife I wouldn’t go in and try to save those kids. Waiting for SWAT is not acceptable. The school was also negligent in securing their doors. We need inspectors to verify security. A lot can be done but the eradication of all guns is too far for me and anything else won’t work in the realm of gun control.

So short run: fortify. Long run: fix the culture.
