If the idea behind 2A is to prevent govt corruption, then why would the public trust the govt to handle gun control correctly? Trust needs to be restored before we naturally find a common ground, otherwise the rules go in and they get stripped out every 4-8 years.

Much of the violence that does occur are in areas with high gun control regulations have high gun violence and pretty much all cities are blue. So their record on gun control is actually not that great either. i.e. it needs to be federal to be "complete"...
I quite often dislike the government and there has certainly been some corruption. I don't want to go and shoot any of them though.
