Indeed, I do advocate for the repeal of our current 2nd, to be replaced with the text of an amendment that is unambiguous as to its meaning. The fact that people can debate the actual meaning of the 2nd means, to me, that it is flawed.
I want to protect the rights of gun owners and users, for purposes that are reasonable and normal. If the "wrong people" take hold of the courts, can't you see the text of the current 2nd amendment being interpreted in a way that would allow the confiscation of guns? I can, though only in my maddest of nightmares ... but I can also see, in a polar opposite nightmare, a society with no restrictions on guns, and society of the gun.
With both sides pulling so hard, so we have reached an equilibrium, but it may not be very hardy.
My replacement amendment protects that which is the most important, in my opinion. If the discussion can be kept civil, I welcome more opinion ... though this may not be the thread for that.
