I'm all for letting the NRA gun-nuts have all the weapons they want, provided that we have one small change in the law: If a person is convicted of a premeditated crime in which a firearm was used, even if the weapon was not actually fired and regardless of the severity of the crime, that person shall receive mandatory capital punishment.

Death by firing squad would be ironically appropriate.

As is well known, the threat of capital punishment is not a deterrent, but it sure as hell cuts down on the recidivism rate.
