He wrote this in his op-ed which advocates repeal of the Second Amendment:
Concern that a national standing army might pose a threat to the security of the separate states led to the adoption of that amendment, which provides that “a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” Today that concern is a relic of the 18th century.

It's not a "relic", and what Stevens described has actually happened - the federal government is now a dire threat to the security of the separate states. It does NOT protect us from attack, invasion, or terrorist threat; and now it wants to permanently prevent us from doing that ourselves by seizing weapons held by private citizens.
Dear John Paul - Please stop being a tool. Enjoy what is left of your retirement, and leave us alone. We're quite happy with our constitution the way that it is. Our only complaint is that people like you (and Congress) don't want to follow it any more.
And by the way, I think The Founders didn't want their children to have a political voice. That too is not a "relic"; it's a very wise choice. These kids don't know squat.
