An AR-556 with a 30-round magazine is not protected by the Second Amendment; it did not exist in 1791, and if it had existed it would have been, well — regulated.
Thus, I humbly submit here, a 28th Amendment to bring the 2nd Amendment into the 21st century. And what should such a 28th Amendment say, anyway? To my mind it is very straightforward.
"The second article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed. Henceforth, the right of the people to keep and bear single shot arms shall not be infringed." |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
