Is it possible to reword the 2nd amendment or does there have to be another amendment to restrict it.

Question

Is it possible to reword the 2nd amendment or does there have to be another amendment to restrict it.

Answer 1

Its not necessary, the 2nd amendment doesn't give us the right to possess bullets nor restrict a legislative body to set limits on caliber sizes. More on that coming up soon - real soon.

Answer 2

My question to you is this--why are you asking this question?

If you are thinking we need gun control because of shootings at school, all you have seen is what the media shows you.  

Does the media ever provide coverage of people who have been able to protect themselves from others who might have otherwise been able to cause them harm?

Do you not know that the average American (who owns a gun and has a license to own it) are law abiding citizens and don't own a gun or guns to go around and kill people?

Did you know that this is what Hitler wanted?  Gun control.  He wanted a society where only those who would uphold his laws would have guns.  In other words, if you take guns away from ordinary citizens, then you will have a society that is at the mercy of those who control this country.

But don't worry for soon we will have the North American Union.  Then they will rewrite the whole Constitution in which we will have a whole new set of rules by which to abide.

You worry about the Second Amendment and the wording of it.  Soon, we won't have a Second Amendment.  We will have a dictatorship and soon you will be at the mercy of a single, ruling force.

Answer 3

What do you think holds the other 9 in place....The 2nd.

Preamble

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Restricting bullets or calibers is like restricting printers and the microphones used in for newspapers and news broadcasts.

Answer 4

"He that shall oppose an assault only with a shield to receive the blows, or in any more respectful posture, without a sword in his hand to abate the confidence and force of the assailant, will quickly be at an end of his resistance…..This will always be the event of such an imaginary resistance, where men may not strike again.  He, therefore, who may resist must be allowed to strike.  And then let our author, or anybody else, join a knock on the head or a cut on the face with as much reverence and respect as he thinks fit  He that can reconcile blows and reverence may, for aught I know, deserve for his pains a civil, respectful cudgeling wherever he can meet with it."  John Locke

If you don't have the right to defend yourself you are not a free man but the property of the state.  Free people have a God given right of self defence.   This is true regardless of a 2nd amendment.

if more people carried guns less damage would happen (the bad guy would be less tempted to go and do a bad thing scared the other guy may actually have a gun and DEFEND himself)

how bout this next time we go to war revoke out men and women the right to bear arms see what happends

the second amendment gives s the RIGHT to DEFEND ourselves

Answer 6

Text in the constitution can't be arbitrarily reworded.  The courts can restrict its application by interpreting it accordingly.  However, since the supreme court just ruled that it applies very broadly, the only way to keep it under control would be to have another amendment, which the gun manufacturers and NRA who control the government will undoubtedly defeat.

Answer 7

There would have to be another amendment.

Answer 8

We're going to leave it the way it is.  

Answer 9

You would need another amendment to change anything as minor as a spelling error.  Look at the two amendments that established and later repealed prohibition.  Any change would have to be done the same way.
