Bork might have trashed the Second Amendment. Footnote in Slouching Towards Gomorrah:
____________________________________________________________
The Second Amendment states somewhat ambiguously:
“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.”
The first part of the Amendment supports proponents of gun control by seeming to make the possession of firearms contingent upon being a member of a state-regulated militia.
The next part is cited by opponents of gun control as a guarantee of the individual’s right to possess such weapons, since he can always be called to militia service. The Supreme Court has consistently ruled that there is no individual right to own a firearm.
The Second Amendment was designed to allow states to defend themselves against a possible tyrannical national government.
Now that the federal government has stealth bombers and nuclear weapons, it is hard to imagine what people would need to keep in the garage to serve that purpose.

The solution is to appoint judges that (1) grew up outside of our big cities, (2) that own guns, and (3) that use them for recreation and, importantly, self-defense. Tired of the justices that likely have never touched a gun, would never want or allow in their home. Might be wrong, but I cannot see any gun owner ruling against gun ownership.
