Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens has a new book out, in which he proposes six potential amendments to the Constitution.
His 6th re. the 2nd Amendment;
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms when serving in the Militia shall not be infringed."

Too bad it won't happen. An injection of centrist judges however, could revise recent precedent.
