Certainly a workable framework which could lead to a viable solution were it possible to debate this subject rationally on a national scale. You are to be congratulated. (There is no trace of sarcasm, facetiousness, or humor in that remark. It is dead serious.)
I, too, would favor a reinterpretation of the existing amendment, to allow for militias and to be flexible according to individual needs. I wouldn't, for instance, be opposed to local militias to patrol high-risk neighborhoods, just maintain a presence. A bunch of armed citizens hanging out where drugs are sold might be a deterence, and could move when the dealers move.
Militias could patrol borders, airports, all manner of things. And, of course, weapons clearly intended for hunting animals would be relatively unrestricted.
