I would prefer the second outcome, which is that we re-interpret the Second Amendment as not being an absolute guarantee to bear arms — after all, who would argue that people have the right to own nuclear weapons — but rather a right to be well regulated. A good starting point would be to close loopholes which allow people to purchase guns without a background check and to increase penalties for crimes committed by criminals using illegally obtained guns.
Some of you might call me a liberal idealist, which I admit to, but I suspect that the vast majority of people murdered by gun violence would be in favor of tighter controls. |

Don't forget to "reinterpret" the 1st amendment to state there is no guarantee of free speech; any editorial or public statement must be vetted by a special new office in the FBI. Also, the forth and fifth amendments are qualified too. Maybe some crimes ought not require warrants and some crimes so heinous the perpetrator should be forced to testify.
Maybe we should just trash the whole Constitution and B.O.R. After all, being SAFE is so phantasmagorically important in transcends ALL our rights! /sarcasm off. |

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| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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) |
