You should read some more, particularly DC v. Heller. Supreme Court ruled 2nd amendment protects and individual right.

Also, the ideal of "reinterpreting" a right is terrible. They do that to the 2nd amendment and they can do it to the first.

Change the Constitution if you want to take away the right.

They already reinterpret constitution all the time. Founding fathers didn't have megaphones, and they simply stated that congress shall not restrict "free speech".

Somehow the government had no problem making laws to restrict free speech, when the speech was delivered to a 130 dB speaker system blaring in a residential district at 2 am. (IANAL, I don't know the specific laws, but I'll be very surprised if that's not illegal.)

I blame the lack of National Megaphone Association.
