Well, retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens went and done did it. He has taken on the Gun Cult. Here is how he would change the 2nd Amendment.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms when serving in the militia shall not be infringed.
Holy SHEEEIT! Look out!!! Here comes that boiling pit of sewage frothed with a fresh set of bowels blown!!!
Props out to him for having the guts to go that far and shine a spotlight on the people in this country who have very serious control and authority issues. The link above should also be noted for this passage.
He recalls a colorful remark on the topic by the late Warren Burger, who served as chief justice from 1969 to 1986. Responding to the NRA’s lobbying campaign opposing gun control laws in the name of Second Amendment rights, Burger, a lifelong conservative, remarked during a television interview in 1991 that the amendment “has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud—I repeat, fraud—on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime.”
Completely agree. I would not go as far as to ban private ownership of guns as Stevens suggests but I do think it is way past time in allowing the assholes of the Gun Cult free reign on the 2nd Amendment. Just like Republican Jesus believers, they are not the sole interpreter of the Constitution simply because they act like the biggest dicks.

While serving in the militia?
Both you and Stevens should really think about that.....
First, you got the first ten amendments...every one of them restricting the power and/or authority of the government. But somehow except the second, which when it says 'the people' somehow only applies to 'the militia' which you are now assuming to mean 'the government'.
Follow up to that, in what world does a government need to give itself rights in order to keep it's military armed????
Second, look up who is defined as members of 'the militia' (and not in the way you are 'way to going' on about).
simply because they act like the biggest dicks.
Uhhhm, that'd be you and your posse there buddy.
.every one of them restricting the power and/or authority of the government.
Explain how the government's authority is restricted over you via the 2nd amendment. You would be a stain in less than second if they had the inclination. All your guns do (in terms of the federal government) is give you the illusion of some sort of control which you really don't have. That's really the fraud.
What holds back the US government goes far beyond the 2nd amendment as they have complete weapon superiority over you.
Markaderpia, your reading for comprehension is at a lower level than usual, today. Try again.
Yeah dude, total fail.
