Gun Violence Is a Full-Blown National Crisis

The Second Amendment plainly states that the right to keep and bear arms "shall not be infringed." It doesn't say the right of the militia to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Georgia supreme court in 1846:

Nor is the right involved in this discussion less comprehensive or valuable: "The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed." The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is, that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right, originally belonging to our forefathers, trampled under foot by Charles I and his two wicked sons and successors, reestablished by the revolution of 1688, conveyed to this land of liberty by the colonists, and finally incorporated conspicuously in our own Magna Charta!

If you think that the Second Amendment has run its course because the militia is no longer viable and that was the only reason for the Amendment then get Congress and the states to repeal the Amendment on those grounds.
