Placing such restrictions on gun ownership would do just that. Now, you do have a recourse. Use your poetic skills to stir up enough support to actually change the 2nd Amendment. It can be done.
Check the history of the NRA. They were historically about gun control. How the NRA evolved from backing a 1934 ban on machine guns to blocking nearly all firearm restrictions today
