I think our forefathers wanted to ensure that States could gather a militia in case the federal government started to charge unfair taxes. I think back then they didn't have so many guns with children carrying guns into schools and mass random shootings. If those same forefathers were alive today I think they'd want to limit the proliferation of guns. Perhaps the State keeps the guns in lockup?
@Julie_M a Militia is a body of Armed citizens, that usually aren’t gathered by the state. Also maybe I missed it but you need to explain why we should put efforts into banning and confiscating every civilian owned firearm in the US.

So are you alright with citizens owning muskets? That was what they had for guns back when our forefathers ratified the BOR.
