Change the Second Amendment in Order to Honor it

   President Obama will tell you the right to keep and bear arms is not being infringed.
   "The evidence tells us that in states that require background checks, law-abiding Americans don't find it any harder to purchase guns whatsoever. Their guns have not been confiscated. Their rights have not been infringed," he said in his speech Jan. 5.
   I would wonder, though, for I do not remember the Second Amendment saying, "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." The way the Founding Fathers wrote it, doesn't say, "the right of law-abiding citizens," it says "the right of the people." 
   If we respect our Constitution, we will amend it. If we are going to have any gun control, we must. To ignore the wording of the Second Amendment is wrong. I don't see what great harm it will do to change the wording to say, "law-abiding citizens" or "those who have not been convicted of violent crimes." If we want background checks, let's make it legal by changing not just some law, but the law that matters most.
   Or should matter most.
