Some very good points being made here and I can’t argue with any of them, nor do I want to.

So how can we get back to the point where the 2nd amendment, and the whole constitution for that matter, really means something?

Sadly true, so what do we do?

The further this dialogue goes the more I think something really could be done, I feel we have a very well educated group here, and as stated above:

EDIT: Do we need a 28th amendment? If so, what would it say, if not, then why??? AND how do we restore meaning to the second amendment AND prevent future infringements?
