The right to bear arms...is it a necessary change?

In response to "Guns!" from "Habanero's Government!!"

It is true that the 2nd Amendment was originally meant for the militia and not every citizen in the United States. I agree with your outlook on how more and more people will carry guns because of this new "right to bear arms" law. People, to feel safe, now that actual criminals can carry more guns, will want to keep a gun in their houses for emergencies. This, however, like you said, will lead to more gun-related tragedies. You never know when a child will get a hold of the family's gun and commit an accident of some sort. That's what worries me more than actual gun-related crimes. I guess America can only wait and leave it to time to see what will happen to society with this new law.

What do you think about changing society, though? Do you think this law was passed because, though the Framers meant the 2nd Amendment to be geared towards the militia, times are changing. Does that give everyone else, such as, the ordinary citizens to bear arms as well? Is this a necessary change to the Constitution?
