THIS article claims that five extra words can 'fix' the Second Amendment.

Those five words?

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms when serving in the Militia shall not be infringed.

The article goes on to say:

It is true, of course, that the public’s reaction to the massacre of schoolchildren, such as the Newtown killings, and the 2013 murder of government employees at the Navy Yard in Washington, may also introduce a strong emotional element into the debate. That aspect of the debate is, however, based entirely on facts rather than fiction. The law should encourage intelligent discussion of possible remedies for what every American can recognize as an ongoing national tragedy.

Another five words to be used for fixing tragedy?

We need a better president.

Uh-huh... Wa-Po = Prog/Com

That article was written by a judge. How does someone so ignorant of the Constitution become a judge? It's pathetic.

These idiots also think "well regulated" means actual regulation like laws.

It definitely means supplied. A well supplied...

An Associate Justice of the SC for 35 years, no less..

The rationale boggles my mind. When you look at the Bill of Rights in its entirety, it's all about the relationship between the individual and the government, with the government always being restrained on what it can do against the individual. How someone can come to the conclusion that the rest of the Bill of Rights (minus the 9th and 10th which for simplicity cover legislative housekeeping issues) applies to people on an individual basis but the 2nd amendment applies to only a specific group of people is beyond me.

It's kind of redundant to guarantee arms to a militia. One generally assumes that a militia is going to be armed.

I wonder if that judge actually believes this tripe (which would make him a "useful idiot).

I am serving in my house militia. I try to keep them safe and provide for them.
I may be interested to join a community militia. Maybe forming a regiment or at least a platoon

I have 3 words to fix that dude's attitude problem, and the acronym is GFYS.

I have five better ones: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, as in owning and carrying, shall not be infringed.

There, no more interpretation needed!

I have 5 better words that would save the nation:

Impeach Obama and all liberals.

Not bad..... not bad.

However, I believe you could improve the amendment, & take all the bogus interpretations out of it by removing words, not adding them. Simply remove the militia stuff. We all know what it means but, that's where a lot of the debate comes from. Instead of adding words, subtract a few.

New 2nd amendment: "The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall NOT be infringed"
