I never viewed Clinton WH website but I really doubt they did anything close to this. Not because the Clintons aren't tacky people but because they are far more politically astute. As for the description of the 2nd Amendment; it reads as diametrically opposed to the actual wording of the amendment. It is antithetical to the principles described in the DoI. They could have simply posted a link to the Constitution and BoRs here.

They don't think people can handle the actual text of the Constitution and Bill of Rights--they need to be spoonfed a summary of what they are supposed to mean. Sort of a kindergarten version of "Cliff's Notes."

Of course, the 2nd amendment would have been the 4th amendment, if all 12 amendments proposed by Congress in 1789 had been ratified together. One of the two which wasn't adopted by enough states back then eventually became the 27th amendment (not that Congress pays any attention to it).
