Oh boy, here we go!
1) that ammendment talks about the right to bear ARMS, not GUNS ONLY. So why the hell are my knives so restricted! 
2) that ammendment qualifies the right to bear arms with a statement about a well-regulated militia. It also states "the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms. . . " not "the right of the INDIVIDUAL. . . " - in other words, if you're not in a militia, the ammendment does not apply (no that doesn't mean I'm anti gun, because I'm not. It just means I interpret the constitution realistically.
3) The ONLY good reason this ammendment hasn't been interpreted properly in recent years is because getting rid of everyone's guns would be a stupid move. We have too many guns in society now, and if we banned 'em all, only the law abiding citizens would turn them in, leaving an unopposed, armed criminal element. Wouldn't work.

I'm a People (last time I checked)
Just because I'm not a member of the militia, means I can't bear arms to protect mine?
I believe the 2nd should be read as it is written...not interpeted
