Changing the Second Amendment would open the door to change all the other amendments. Maybe freedom of speech should be changed to freedom of speech that doesn't offend anybody or freedom of religion as long as it's not a certain religion. Leave things as they were written the courts will figure out what they mean and we know what they mean!

No! leave it alone! Look what has happened to places like France and Great Britain! The Islamo-Nazis want to overthrow their gov't and establish Sharia. Some people never learn!

Maybe and no. I disagree with most people on the interpretation of the 2nd Amendment. I feel it is narrow in scope and it only applies to the descendant of local militias which is the National Guard of today. It only applies to allow National Guard members the right to have access to and the use of arms and only in regards to their duties in protecting the United States and the states each guard represents. So in this regard the Constitution is quiet on whether citizens can own a gun or not. It only applies to guard members and is only applicable when a guard member is active with the guard.
For everyone else the 10th Amendment gives guidance that it is up to the individual states to decide.
So if you want an amendment that grants everyone the right to bear arms then you need either a new amendment or to rewrite the 2nd Amendment. If you want to leave it up to individual states then you can leave the 2nd Amendment alone.

Maj Ken Brown - And there is the 3rd, which is "We the People". I thought I would mention that because the 2A is not about a national guard or potential draftee's. As the Heller case pointed out in the final judgement of the Supreme Court, the founding fathers considered the "militias" were "we the people."

There is nothing narrow about the Second Amendment, the original militias were all the able bodied men of the community. The Supreme Court has ruled on this question and laid it to rest; the right to bear arms is a right of the individual citizen.

AFJROTC;... It consumed me.. literally &
Physically.. I was trying to juggle Scouts in there to.. and had sitreps come up, scouts in one hand and ROTC in another.. so I figured a way to do both together.. I got the two leaders together and they held a head bang together.. exchanged ideas.. we had a SAR ting come up and we went out in mixed teams.. it gave us more teams and it actually worked out good..
the troop we inter-acted with had their search skills down good.. as were their first aid and some leadership.. room for improvement on both sides.. nobody was trying to "outdo" the other person.. emphasis on teamwork.. work together and get the job at hand done.. The AF Reserve judges gave our SAR test a big thumbs up on all points considered.. perfect weather; wet, foggy, miserable, the more obstacles in your way and the more you do good to overcome them, the better you look for points.. later we seen these scouts in school and there was a better rapport between us.. and that was a great example to other kids in school ..
I thought.. one of my teachers asked us
(All the kids) what we did on our weekend.. one kid; oh we went to cedar point.. rode some wild rides.. bla-bla-bla..
One of the girls; usual girl stuff that can be shared.. go to the mall(oh whoopee)..
I'm trying to be nice and a nice hand clap
When theiy're done.. some were doing the high 5 thing .. really, over an amusement ride?.. "Mr. Herrst, what did you do this weekend? ;" she asked.. I stood up as did the the otherCadets and turned and addressed the class and told of our SARtest and what we did on it .. three
On the team we're in the room.. I motioned for them to stand to share credit
When I told that our team grabbed the
SARtest trophy.. one student asked; "so how does that compare with going to cedar point or the mall with friends?" Actually it doesn't Mr . _____, not at all,
II exceeds it! While you're out playing kiddie games, the team and I were out
Searching for an "supposed to be" injured
Person with multiple injuries and do to the inclement weather, the Air transport couldn't get in.. so we had to hoof it out over treacherous terraain in the iron mountain region in the U.P... carting the simulated injured party.. and making sure they were not injured further." (We had a mbr. Who was also our photographer and recorded what we did.. he developed his own film and made slides..). He narrated
The slide presentation.. Mr._____ was enthralled by what he seen and so were others.. then the bell rang.. The teacher
Promised to pick up where we left off..
Nobody complained I took to long, which surprised me.. I remembered to thank them for being so courteous and patient
With my spiel.. there are always a few that are not.. one or two don't even offer anything about what they did.. that's just them, who they are and I don't hold it against them.. Our JROTC program picked up 4 new people that would start next semester.. and some others changed their opinions of us, hopefully positive.. even not in uniform I tried to maintain professionalism; the way I clothed myself: neat clothes(even my jeans had creases). Not picked with holes.. or Irish pennants.. one guy who clothed himself out of whatever he found in the hamper bottom.. unkempt hair..
that was who he was.. didn't care .. or couldn't afford .. he ragged because I always tried to look decent.. my family
Worked to put bread on the table and wear decent clothing .. his point was "did I have to have creases in e'thing I wore"? Could I dress more comfortable?.. "so you want me to wear my pjs?" I replied.. " you look like your tense all the time," he'd say.. I told him roudy was for the weekend,
You'll even see creases in those jeans, also I told him.. so, throws up his arms an walks away shaking his head back an' forth... I have loosened some as the years have moved on.. but still try to mailntain some semblance of self discipline in clothing and characteristics..

I really don't find anything unclear about the wording of the second amendment. What I find unclear is why people fail to recognize that with the number of people increasing it is logical that violence would increase in proportion. There is also the fact that the media uses anything and everything to increase its subscribers and watchers. The less sensationalism the fewer in the audience.

Just what did the Second Amendment amend any way? Article One Section 8 right after To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia .Note the "Bill of Rights" are articles in amendment of and in addition to the Original Constitution !It's to bad that most of you still do not understand that. Oh and most of you use the alternative facts that our form of government is a democracy which in fact we are not !!
