"The Second Amendment is an incomprehensible mess."

The article explains that the arms doesn't mean concealable weapons and that the thought of concealed weapons was largely impossible when the 2nd amendment was written.

Here's the original article:
[link to www.vanityfair.com] In the article, he states that, "America needs to repeal the Second Amendment," and, "We need to get rid of it and try again with an amendment that makes sense."

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 author tries to say that commas are placed in the wrong place, it uses bad grammar, and the punctuation is wrong. So therefore the whole amendment is misunderstood and misused by gun hungry advocates and should be rewritten.

He says that the words, "well regulated" are archaic and actually mean "well trained." He believes "militia" means The National Guard, not untrained citizens. "The People" means members of a political community.

He goes on to say that the NRA (not him mind you) is guilty of poking holes in the 2nd amendment. He says, "The N.R.A. has fought successfully . . .so that even those people who have been found to be a danger to others can get a gun."

He believes the 2nd amendment should be rewritten to state, "The people retain the right to keep and bear arms, subject to reasonable restrictions deemed necessary by the Congress and the President to secure the lives and well being of others."

In other words, people should be allowed to own a gun under any restriction congress and the president dictate.

Mind boggling..remove the balance of power and let the president decide who can have guns? Really? How does he not see that this is basically a welcome mat for tyranny?

It's disgusting to see people rolling out a red carpet to usher in a bigger government with more power.
