Let’s not be distracted by claims, like Donald Trump’s, that the goal is to repeal the Second Amendment. The United States could have much, much stronger gun laws within what recent Supreme Courts would allow, let alone what the Founders intended. Take the March for Our Lives' five-point agenda—the Washington Post’s Christopher Ingraham shows that the courts have already allowed most of it.

Funding gun research, the first item on the agenda, hasn’t even ever gone to court, and it’s hard to imagine a court ruling against it. Eliminating “absurd restrictions” on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives comes next:

The ATF needs to become a modern agency, one capable of keeping receipts and efficiently regulating this massive industry.”

This, Ingraham writes, is both legal and popular. A federal court dismissed a challenge to a New York state law that does something similar to what the March for Our Lives activists want the ATF to do, and “In the February Economist-YouGov poll, 63 percent of Americans said they supported “requiring gun owners to register their guns with a national gun registry,” with 26 percent opposing such a move.”
