Rewrite the Second Amendment?

Professor Richard Skidmore of Pierce College asks "Rewrite the Second Amendment?" That is quite obviously what the "9th Circus" would like to do. After pointing out how important the right of individuals to keep and bear arms was to the various state ratification conventions in the 1780s, Prof. Skidmore asks...
Did the 9th Circuit judges abrogate the history of our nation, ignore the grievances that compelled us to separate from England, discard the debates of the Federalists and Anti-federalists, legislate from the bench which is not their responsibility, and thus compel another re-writing of our natural history to justify their decree, relying on the general ignorance of the people to allow their decisions to stand? A simpler question is: What part of "shall not be infringed" is not understood?

I guess that those T-shirts one sees at gun shows are more sagacious than previously imagined.
