John - You're making a few broad statements there. I'm curious which part of the 2nd Amendment you think needs to be brought into the 21st Century. Do you feel that the whole amendment is no longer relevant, as militias (as a means of national defense) are basically obsolete? Perhaps you think that government is perfectly capable of fulfilling its role as protector of the people, and therefore we no longer need to allow private ownership of firearms?

As someone who takes his right to keep and bear arms very seriously, and has seen a personal weapon used in the defense of his home, I'd like very much for you to explain why I need to give them up. Somehow, being called a "clueless asshole" just doesn't cut it.
