64. It's too bad...
that the Amendment is NOT worded the way you put it. If it was, you'd have a valid point, but the fact remains that it's not worded the way, and you entered a bunch of non-existant qualifiers that simply are not in the original text.

For an example of how wrong this is, take the 5th Amendment's protection against self-incrimination, and add in (except in situations where the US is under terrorist attacks, then all bets are off). That completely changes the whole shebang, just as your 4 qualifiers changes the meaning of the Second Amendment. As such, it's bunk.
