The Second Amendment

The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America clearly states:

"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."

How do we resolve this with the rights of people to attend movies (Aurora), go to school (Columbine, Virginia Tech) or to go to public meetings with their Representatives in the House (Arizona)?

We, as members of society must have the right and obligation to regulate access to weapons.

So the question we have to ask is how do we keep deadly weapons out of the hands of sociopaths and psychopaths? Is there a Catch-22 like problem, i.e.,

"Assault rifles are legal to own for anyone who isn't crazy, but anyone who wants to own an assault rifle is crazy and therefore can't own one?"

Or do we simply amend or repeal the 2nd Amendment?

There are precedents for changing the Constitution. Slavery was allowed until the Emancipation Proclimation and the 14th Amendment. Prohibition, established by 18th Amendment, 10/28/1919, was repealed by the 21th Amendment, 12/5/1933.

If you take the Second Amend to it's logical extreme, anyone can own any weapon. Therefore people should be able to buy bombers, aircraft carriers, like the Gerald R. Ford class of carriers, pictured above, or nuclear weapons ....

And consider Iraq under Saddam, Iran, Libya under Gaddafi, Nazi Germany. In those countries only certain people could get guns; only certain people could "serve." In the United States, on the other hand, ALL can bear arms Gay, straight, black, white, Jewish, Moslem, Buddhist, Christian, Athiest ... one nation under sky ...
