A sugstion made to me made sense, revert the gun laws back to those guns avaliable when the founding fathers wrote it,
muzzle loading black powder flintlocks may not stop the shootings but they would reduce the number of deaths, and a lot of these morons commiting the shootings would be incapable of such a complex loading process

No need to go that far - in the UK farmers are allowed (non-automatic) shotguns and often a single shot .22 rifle for vermin control

But that would require them to be able to aim.

Not as vital when using a shotgun - pointing it in the general direction is ususally good enough

That's a pellet-gun/airgun, not a firearm like a shotgun.
|
|
|
|
|
The .22?[^] Certainly a firearm, though you can also get .22 calible pellet/airguns

..is it the firearm or the airgun that's allowed in the UK?
|
|
|
|
|
Air weapons are generally legal for most people, though there are some restrictions.
Long weapons (rifles/shotguns) can be obtained by people with relevant permits, though pistols are effectively banned.

I would totally do that!
...I locked a file cabinet in the office that we apparently didn't have a key for because it had something that looked like a button so I pushed it!

Why guns?
Your rather antiquated bill of rights (based upon the British Version), merely says the right to bear arms.
It does not stipulate guns anywhere.
Issue everyone with a pea-shooter and ban guns.
