Virtually every session of Congress there is an effort to modify or outright repeal the 2nd Amendment. Other then occasionally grabbing a headline, they never go anywhere. For good reason.

I looked at the blog, and I did vote. It was running 93% against the proposed wording when I voted.

This appears to be some kind of study group, looking at if the proposed wording would be supported by the public. This is not, anywhere that I could see, any actual movement in Congress or petition to Congress to change the 2nd Amendment.

The way they worded their proposal, it would only protect a citizen's right to arms when they were actually serving in one of the listed groups. That seems kind of stupid to me, a Constitutional protection of the right of the military and police to bear arms? seems un-needed to me.
I don't see or hear any group(s) trying to take their guns away from the police, security, or military forces!
