know how the anti-gunners keep talking about an amendment to get rid of the 2nd Amendment?
Here's my version

"A well armed militia consisting of all  citizens, being necessary for the security of a free and peaceful state, the right of all citizens to keep and bear arms shall not in any way be infringed"

edited due to suggestions from other posts, just like a real Consitutional Convention [:)]

Here's my version

"A well armed militia consisting of all able bodied citizens, being necessary for the security of a free and peaceful state, the right of all citizens to keep and bare arms shall not in any way be infringed"

I would take out the part about able bodied, because those assholes would find some way to nit pick that such as too old, too young, mental health, amputees, etc.

It is the duty of all persons of this nation to contribute to national and state level security at all times and in all places. The duty to contribute to national and state level security may be waived by applying for a permit to not carry firearms. The price of this permit shall not excide the average weekly pay of the city or town in which the person resides. Permits are valid for a period of two years.

A variation of SDAVID's idea:

It is the duty of all citizens to protect their country and their families.  Each citizen is require to have in their possession, a minimum of  one pistol, one shotgun and one military assault weapon capable of full automatic fire. Failure to have the above will result in the forfeiter of all rights and privileges.

2nd Amendment: Benjamin0001 Style
27 Amendment:

2nd Amendment:  Stays the same but I kind like OWN A GUN, USE A GUN

27 Amendment:  Would Read:

Only Democrats are subject to laws passed by Democrats and Only Republicans are subject to laws passed by Republicans.

Can't say that I think that's a good idea.  How about we only use and follow the best laws that each side comes up with, get the best of both worlds?  Mix and match the best features of the Republicans(guns) and the Democrats(the environment).  Throw it all into a blender, and enjoy a nice, tasty milkshake of a perfected America.  Guns 'n' trees.  Mmmm, mmmmm good.

Since every so often governments become overbearing and need to be overthrown, the right of the people to own and carry firearms shall not be infringed by any person or governmental entity.

If you're honest and literate, then the existing 2nd amendment is very adequate.   If you're not BOTH honest and literate, it doesn't really matter anyway, and that's how the antigunners and many judges are now.

But if it were to be re-written with extreme clarity, I'd do it like this:

"The rights of the individual people to keep any type of arms and to bear any type of arms shall never be infringed by any person, government, or agency, whether local, state, or federal.  Any such infringement shall be a capital offense, punishable by mandatory death sentence."

Could I be any clearer?  [;D]

This could be interpreted to mean that anti-gunners could be put to death if they tried to interfere with your having a gun.   I like it!
