But I don't want to be there.
Many pro-regulation folks like to say that the founders never thought about semi-auto and full-auto weapons when they wrote the BOR. There were examples of those (expensive and uncommon) weapons in that day. I have my doubts that they conceived that the population of the city where the Declaration was written and signed would exceed that of the whole country at the time. I don't think they thought about the idea of a shopping mall with multiple floors that sat on the better part of square mile. I don't believe they considered the idea that a school like my high school (auditorium occupancy 4200) wouldn't fit the whole student body.
Combining the type and variety of environments we have today, I honestly am not sure what the founders would have to say about guns. I will brainstorm a bit to answer your questions and concerns. Paper work is beginning to defoliate a forest somewhere and accumulate on my desk at work so I have to roll to work soon.
Access is a problem. A part of the answer is to empower the owner in any sale to know that the buyer is allowed and safe. I'll get back to you soon. Our IT folk have the internet set tighter than a bull's butt in fly season but DU is freely available.
Thanks again for the ideas.
