And most people would decline to participate. Wow, some common ground. But the merchants would have to pay for the service. But everyone would be expected to participate in national defense, so we're back to where we started with the right of the people to keep and bear arms not being infringed. Machine shops aren't illegal, and neither are 3d printers. Not as easy to limit supply of guns as you  might think.
