At the risk of setting off a firestorm I would like to offer a view of the Second Amendment and solutions to some of the issues surrounding it.

I have come to believe that the Second is only about having a well-regulated armed militia. The War started when the Brits "came after" their guns. The nation had just had an armed revolution and I think that the Founding Fathers viewed the possibility of armed rebellion to be a Constitutional Right. I believe that we could/should have local armed militias (with appropriate training).

Now, that leaves hunting, recreational shooting, and personal protection out in the cold. When the Constitution was written, these were viewed as simply rights held by the states/people. We need two more amendments to guarantee these rights. Since the Constitution granted the non-enumerated tasks to the States, then each state would have the responsibility to regulate these uses. They already do so for hunting with minimum caliber/gauge, magazine capacity, etc. They could do the same for self defense, with the river-arching statement in the two new amendments that while the states can regulate the uses, the regulations must be reasonable and can't infringe on the person's reasons ability to hunt, shoot, or defend themselves.
