I ran that exercise a few weeks back. A what if... we could re-write the Second Amendment?

Try this.

"The right of all individual United States Citizens to keep and bear all arms and their accoutrements at all times in any circumstance and in any location shall not be infringed in any way, from any domestic or foreign source, forever."

Nice; however, I do notice that it doesn’t have ‘teeth’ to chew-up those who would violate it.

No where, (except once), is the potential fine stated. “May be fined or imprisoned for ***”. This bill would be unconstitutional because of that alone. What is the fine? It must be stated and have a “not more than” attached to it.

Oh, so firearms rights are one of the things in the Constitution Republicans don't deserve, right, Lautenberg?

Sen. Lautenberg: Republicans "Don't Deserve The Freedoms That Are In The Constitution" (VIDEO)

Lautenberg, you fascist bitch, you will GIVE me NOTHING. I will TAKE my Constitutional freedoms, even if it means crawling over a mound of bodies of people JUST LIKE YOU.

F***ing Nazi Fascist Bastard.

Croak, already, ya f***in' mummy.

What is this Konn-stih-too-shun of what you speak?

Besides, they have a lot of time to work on these sort of bills because, after all, all the 2011 budget work is done, and they have TIME to work on less important things.

Oh, wait.

It’s interesting to me that the founding fathers thought you have a RIGHT to only one consumer product. It wasn’t horses(transportation), houses, clothing, or food. But that is the same consumer product the left wants regulated out of existence.

It shouldn't be surprising.

Ah, Sorry... we were talking about a proposed rewording of the second amendment.

You probably don’t want to crawl over Lautenberg. Whatever he’s afflicted with might be contagious by contact.

Nice plan. Oh, yeah....Craig's a bedwetting liberal who won't allow ads for nasty icky guns on his site. You wanna get a hooker for your son, or your daughter for that matter, he's all over that one, but allowing gun ads would be wrong.

Whose really responsible for this bit of tyranny? Frankie the lout, or the a$$holes in NJ who elected him. Likewise upChuckie schemer and Kerry, etc. They are the symptoms of the fact that a large segment of the US really doesn’t deserve to belong, but should be given to Quebec.

Precisely. It’s an automatic disqualifier in my view.

(9) gun violence is a pervasive, national problem that is exacerbated by the availability of guns at gun shows, flea markets, and other organized events...

This pure unadulterated baloney. This is nothing more than the specious opinion of the author who obviously is an opponent of the 2nd Amendment.

I thought about that as well. in In formulating my proposed version of the Second Amendment I observed that there are no described levels of penalty in any of the other amendments. In fact there are no levels of penalty described anywhere in the Constitution or in any of the Amendments (according to my rather hasty review). If this is incorrect let me know and I will be quite obliging to describe a fitting penalty for a violation of a “reconstituted” Second Amendment!

I believe the FF understood that the Constitution is not the place to describe penalties for violations of the law. I am sure they did it that way for a reason.

To be perfectly honest I think they did not proscribe penalties because none of them foresaw such a time as we have now: a time where the law is construed to mean whatever suits the government at the time. I point to the quote one had saying that something to the effect that a jury-trial as the best check against tyranny “yet imagined by man” and yet consider how juries are rather unduly chosen or manipulated by the government (that NJ gun case comes to mind).

Furthermore, the amount of tyranny we now live under is far greater than anything King George could have imagined in his wildest fever-dreams.
The Founders would be astounded, all social conventions/morals/customs aside, by the sheer depravity of our “justice” system.
