I suspect it would just need a reinterpretation. The amendment can be seen as merely making provision for "a well regulated Militia", that is, a normal standing army. I'm not advocating that, but it has been interpreted that way in the past and could be in the future.


Fortunately the D.C. Federal Court of Appeals struck down the militia intrepretation again last month and held that the 2nd amendment right to bear arms is not limited to militias and is a right of all citizens.
