“that fails to garner “two-thirds of senators” in support.”
A dem controlled congress like a few years ago would easily have that threshold.
It needs a stronger protection.
Does that mean the 1934 NFA, the 1968 GCA and the 1986 mg ban would all be nullified?
Careful, times and congressional demographics change. Better to call for Bill of Rights enforcement.

With Ted Cruz running for president, Mike Lee is going to become very important!
IRRELEVANT.
The 2nd Amendment is not the right to own and use sporting goods; it is the right to OWN AND CARRY WEAPONS OF MILITARY UTILITY (per US v Miller, and the Founders), light arms AND crew-served weapons that able to project deadly force at distance, that are equal in power to the Government's arms.
Anything less is capitulation and destined to put us in chains.
It's even easier than that: If a weapon or ammo is found to be unlawful for U.S. citizens, then it should also be banned as unlawful for any police use by civilian police agencies, local, state or federal. A cop who then violates the law immediately forfeits his job, any accrued pension or retirement fund, and if the wepons was actually used, may then be charged with waging war on the civilian population of the United States, with the penalty prescribed for such action.
It couldn't hurt, but the fact is we're supposed to have a ban on federal gun control even with 100% support:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
