No it can't, not that the gun grabbers don't try, but "the people" and "the government" where poles apart in the minds of the founders. Words mean things, and the folks who wrote the second amendment were quite the word smiths. They said exactly what they meant, that is "right of the people", not power of the government (people have rights and powers, governments only have powers, in the Constitution).
I know you don't agree with it, but don't even postuate that it might be what was meant, it wasn't, period.
Don't drink the kool-aide my FRiend.
