Those of you who favor more gun restrictions, would you favor repealing the 2nd amendment?

I mean the part about the right of the people to bear arms not being abridged is a pretty broad right. Would you prefer it read something more like, "the right of the people to bear arms should only be abridge when the government, acting of behalf of more progressive people, deems it necessary?"

It seems to be the way a lot of people read it. It might be a more honest assessment of what people expect.

Everyone in this thread seems to accept that the "right" can be abridged in the case of mental illness. How far would you be willing to go?

ETA: this could be an entertaining exercise for the whole Bill of Rights. Just add or subtract what you want:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances, unless your ideas are wildly offensive and promote impediments on the rights of others.
