If we were to rewrite the 2nd amendment in a way that would be impossible to misunderstand, what would that look like?

Here's my attempt:
"Firearms, being necessary for the security of a free state and individual,
the rights and abilities of the people to purchase, manufacture, trade, keep and bear unregistered firearms, firearms accessories and ammunition commensurate with current military technology, shall not be infringed,
interdicted, encroached upon or in any way reduced."

      Misunderstand*?
      Yes, but people are still arguing over the "well regulated" part, "the founding fathers were talking about muskets" etc. My example would not allow for those moronic arguments.

        the fact of the matter is that people don't care whether or not the second amendment is impossible to misunderstand. they don't like guns and will go to any lengths to restrict you inalienable rights to them

      It already is written that way. this.

      The problem is that the language is old. The meaning of the worlds has evolved over time. You look at what they meant at time of writing. Regulated means properly functions. Bear means to carry around. Militia means anyone capable of military service which today includes pretty much everyone that isn't a child.

      So written with modern language it would be something like that
      >A properly functioning population being necessary for the security of a free state, the right of the people to have and carry around guns will not be restricted.

      The intent based on the peripheral writings of the day also make it very clear that the intent is that any individual should have access to the same weapons as a basic infantryman.

    Nobody in power "misunderstands" it, they actively defy it. There is no rule or law so we'll crafted or so cleverly phrased that it cannot just be "ignored" if there's no consequences for ignoring it.

    Every law, and every right, is a threat of violence. Every single one carries the subtext "or you will be killed". The second the real, constant, physical threat disappears, the law or right becomes fiction.
    Violent force is the authority from which all legal authority derives.

    the second amendment could literally say "the unrestricted right of the people to keep and bear any kind of weapon and accessory ever devised shall not be infringed upon by under any circumstance" and it would still have us in exactly the same predicament we're currently in.
    It's not the amendment that's the isue

    No, it's perfect. It isn't about firearms it's about all implements of violence. Every last one, from a pointy stick to an anti-air missile.

    Just remove the well regulated militia part, and add the words "any form" before arms
    >simple as...

    >the 1st two lines of the 2nd amendment is the founding fathers reasoning behind adding it as one of the 1st few amendments of civil rights and liberties.
    Anyone with actual reading comprehension can tell that the right outlined begins when it says "the right of the people" and is the only part that matters in the debate.
    Also by definition "shall not be infringed" means that any and all forms of the aforementioned shall not be kept from being possessed by the people.

    >Notice specifically, that they used the word ARMS, not specifically Firearms.
    This means that they were referring to any ARMARMENT human beings could posses past/present/future.
    They did this in order to protect the right well into the future knowing their would be advancements in technology and the people would need to possess them to protect from tyranny.
    If we trace back past history, commoners and the public well up until the civil war were able to possess any and all weaponry currently equivalent or even advanced beyond the government without restriction or oversight.

    >As a patriotic american citizen, interpreting the will of our founding fathers as they intended, I say we should have the ability to own/make our own arm-able nuclear warheads in our garages if we desire...
    For we live under a oppressive/lording government that refuses to call across the spectrum protesting for ensuring the nations election security to relieve the worries of the american people on January 6 2020, as anything other than a political insurrection or possible political coupe.

    When the process and rules are change amid an election, there is viable reasoning that dirty work/corruption is at foot. Thus the people's worries and concerns are warranted and should hold their leaders accountable.
    Especially, when their leaders fear said publics call to action and the leaders work behind closed doors under military guard.

    >”Being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep bear arms shall not be infringed. Yes, the arms of bears. All bears. Black bears, brown bears, white bears, frick it, even pandas. If it’s a bear and has arms, people have the right to have them, be them still attached to a living bear or a dead bear, or seperated from the bear in any way possible. See the attached list in the following appendix for what qualifies as a bear.”
    I hope it’s clarified now.
