Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens suggests amending the Second Amendment to restrict the individual right to bear arms to militia service only. In an opinion piece, he argues that this change would align the amendment with its original intent and negate recent court decisions that have expanded gun rights, specifically citing the landmark 2008 cases that recognized a personal right to have firearms.
Despite Stevens’ proposal aiming to redefine gun rights, the political landscape remains resistant to any significant changes, with even modest gun control measures facing opposition in Congress. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! — Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. |
