But the Constitution contains no qualification on the right to bear arms. It just says that right shall not be infringed. As long as that's standing law, any judge with a 2A case before them is going to look at the text of the Constitution and the Heller decision and rule that the Constitution protects an unqualified right to keep and bear arms. And anti-gun politicians are not going to get the Australia style total bans and confiscation sweeps they've been hoping for. The most they'll get is bikeshedding about the definition of an "assault weapon" and the like.

If what you say is true, and the militia is of no concern to us today, it should be easy enough to get an amendment passed that removes or curtails the right unconditionally protected by the 2A. It could even just be put out there and float around for as long as it takes the states to ratify it, like the 27th amendment did for centuries.

The process is there for a reason.
