I have been thinking about the second amendment:
Amendment II
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. (http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html)
The constitution does give Americans or people within the state the right to "bear Arms." But the purpose to "bear Arms" is clear, "necessary to the security of a free State." If I remember correctly the "Militia" during the period when the Constitution was drafted or "well regulated Militia," was made up of citizens who came together forming units from towns and states in order to serve the needs of either the state or the country. Because today this idea of service, coming together with neighbors for the purposes of creating a "Militia" does not mean that "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms" can be "infringed" or taken away. Only a new amendment to the Constitution repealing the Second Amendment or changing the Second Amendment can do so.
However the Supreme Court's argument in this decision focused on home protection:
In sum, we hold that the District’s ban on handgun
possession in the home violates the Second Amendment,
as does its prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm
in the home operable for the purpose of immediate
self-defense (pg. 64 District of Columbia v. Heller).
I think that if rational people (key is rational and this is usually to much to ask of most of us concerning any issue), considered the Second Amendment as it stands that a new constructional amendment clarifying the Second Amendment could be possible. Again, not taking away the right for lawful sane citizens to own weapons, but maybe something along the lines that would prevent my next door neighbor from buying that M1 Abrams (Tank) and putting it in his front yard. Just think of the property values.
But, alas since the issue continues to be muddled, and this decision did nothing more than continue this chaos. Below is the results from Gallup Polls taken from 1990 through 2006 on gun control. Specifically, "Should laws covering the sale of firearms be...", with the following choices for answers: "more Strict"; "kept as they are now"; and "less strict." Pay attention to the "less strict" answer. Although they has been a rise from 1990 through 2006 of at least 7 percent (with a high in 1995 of 12 percent), the number is still overwhelming low when compared with the 91 percent (only 88 percent in 1995) who clearly feel that some form of gun sale control should exist. The article I have included below from the Pew Research Center focuses on the percentage drop of the "more strict" answer, I think that that is only making news of non-news given that those who want "less strict" fire arms is at best 12 percent.

I believe that if most people knew that the Second Amendment as it reads grants "the people" (Not citizens, it says people) the right to own any weapon available that, including military weapons of mass destruction, that a change in this amendment may be justified. I do not want the right to bear arms taken away, I would still like to keep my right, especially if I need to protect myself from my neighbors who after reading this blog decide to come after me. I just want to make sure that when I pull out a REMINGTON 1187 AUTO LOADER, that they are not coming at me with an M16 with an M203 grenade launcher attached (Yes, I was in the Army-Hooah!). But, if its the cops, I think that they should be able to come in well armed, enough to scare me from using any weapon available to me.
My first two cents....

OH, THIS 2nd Amendment Ruling IS NOTHING! Next Step? Will be when I am subpeona’d for my testimony on my past 30+ years as an US Army “Manchurian Candidate Study” subject.
(Go to www.rickhyatt.freeservers.com, Picasa, or Flickr to see just how immersed I AM in this espionage business - Hope you have Piclens, for I’ve got PHOTOS of past major spies I have known long-term along this line you won’t believe!)
That is to say, my own mission as a “Sleeper,” totally controlled, of course, by the FBI and (Double-Blind, unknowingly) “Social(ist) Services,” was to “Act up” (Utilizing special psychological and physical attributes such as clinical hypnosis and Celiac’s Disease, which causes reversible neopathy, and a "Yukky" personality) to the degree that I became “One of those who shouldn’t own a gun…" and thusly influence on-going anti-gun legislation. I was successful in helping Maui Waiver Form 2036 (Allowing the corrupt politicians to search a gun applicant’s ENTIRE LIFE’S medical, sexual etc. files) and then exploit same for political control purposes on Maui.
Coming then here to Wyoming, hearing of my “Reputation” they specially whipped up new Concealed Carry Permit Restrictions, for "Such a person like me…" Then, when I passed the NCIC, etc., and got a Florida Permit, valid here, the Viglilantes passed a special law - JUST FOR ME- ILLEGAL AS HELL - Such that it could not be used here, as quick examples.
My “Behavioral Programming?” To act unnaturally conservative, pro-Constitutional, openly Patriotic, and to be vocal in speech and writing about it. Be “Dumbed Down” and as if "Perverse" from the Celiac’s by deliberately eating bread and drinking beer for the effects of gluten upon me. Couldn’t have made a better target and/or “Dummy” for the Liberals to exploit as an “Example.”
The Liberal and Maternalistic Social(ist) Agencies have tried to have me Committed endless times, based on this Politically-Incorrect behavior, and hoping to find out more from me about my past high-ranking Intel Officer connections, which they hope are sexually-blackmail-related.
Now… Since so many anti-gun laws are based on the VIOLENT acts of the Columbine, Post Office, Mall otherwise-untraceable (By the APA, anyway) “Sleepers” (Otherwise as myself), then how can ANY OF THOSE LAWS BE VALID AT ALL? Since they are, as NRA VP Knox once said, "...Enemy action?"
Our corrupted politicians cannot be trusted to do anything but sell out our Rights in order to achieve personal powers, no matter where the "Resources" come from.
ALL GUN REGULATION MUST BE THROWN OUT!
... And that is only the tip of the iceberg. The reason I got put into this "Long-term (Make work) Study" was much more in that I had to go to ground with some vital espionage stuff. There is an on-going Assassination-For-Hire (Chandra, Palfrey, etc.) Team that has operated in DC for that time - Because in watching them, the Fed's thusly are led directly to the most high-ranking corrupt.
This thing is, to let this out before the American People just before this upcoming election - And that's my job! (This election is VITAL, militarily speaking) The names won't surprise you, but you can view the real-live photos and explanations on my website, and Picasa.
Spread it around if you want to help return the power to the People with the largest voter turnout in American History! I **** YOU NOT.
