Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens suggests change to Second Amendment

John Paul Stevens, who retired from the Supreme Court in 2010, has come up with a plan to change the Second Amendment to the Constitution, which he says would better reflect what the Founders intended. The Second Amendment has become highly controversial lately, as it spells out the right of Americans to bear arms.

Stevens, 94, is promoting his new book, Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution, in which he outlines his proposed changes to the Constitution. However, his suggestions for the Second Amendment are getting the most attention. He suggests that the amendment be changed to read the right of the people to keep and bear Arms when serving in the Militia shall not be infringed.

In an interview with ABC News, Stevens said that the Founders did not intend on allowing individual citizens to bear arms, but rather state militias. That would be in contradiction of the 2008 Supreme Court decision in District of Columbia v. Heller.

Still, Stevens understands that a complete ban of individuals owning arms is remote because of the powerful gun lobby, which is able to take care of itself in the democratic debates which would continue with my amendment. His idea would merely prevent arguments being made that Congress doesnt have the power to do what they think is in the best public interest.

According to CBS Washington, Stevens also suggested that gerrymandering - the process of redrawing district lines for political purposes - should be unconstitutional. It doesnt take a genius to say theres something fishy about these districts, he said.

Another comment from Stevens that is getting attention is that politics could be considered when a judge retires, although he said that his own retirement was not politically motivated. My decision was not made for any political reason whatsoever. It was my concern about my own health, Stevens said.

'It's about freedom'

COEUR d'ALENE - "The Second Amendment isn't about firearms. It's about freedom," Brent Regan said.

He stood outside the Gladys Buroker Building at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds on Saturday afternoon, following a speech he gave to a lively crowd at the Patriots' Day Idaho Oath Keepers Second Amendment Rally.

"Other people don't have the right to tell you that you can't defend yourself in certain ways if you're presented with force," he said. "The Second Amendment was put in to make sure it was clear that the government shouldn't infringe on that right, because confiscation was one of the first acts that the British tried to do to subdue colonists."

Regan, an engineer from Coeur d'Alene, spoke about some issues coming up in the primary election.

"The Idaho lands issue is probably the least understood, but probably one of the most important things that we've got," he said. "I wanted to correct some of the misinformation that's going on about the state exchange. Those are the two big things."

He joined at least 150 people in frank discussions about patriotism, liberty, gun rights and the future of the nation.

"We're here to show our support for many things," said Oath Keeper Tia Avery of Moyie Springs. "The Second Amendment being probably the first one, as we really do start standing up and fighting back, instead of letting politicians walk on us."

Avery and Kortni Roy, also of Moyie Springs, held high an American flag and a flag with the words, "Don't tread on me." Both women said they are fully trained in firearm use, and Avery pointed out the .45 caliber handgun holstered on her hip.

"People just need to start being more aware," Roy said. "If they don't, they're going to lose it all."

Roy, who works at a truck stop, said her firearm serves as security.
