They need to take that confusing (to leftists) part about the militia out and just leave it: "The Right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." Period. Full stop. nothing more necessary.

First thing that entered my mind.

That's fine, or we could use the text from the New Hampshire Constitution:

[Art.] 2-a. [The Bearing of Arms.] All persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, their property and the state.

We could also add another article from the New Hampshire Constitution:

[Art.] 10. [Right of Revolution.] Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

Just in case the Democrats didn't understand the motivations behind the 2nd article.
