Note-Earlier post enclosed at end of this one.
All,
I have had a Director with "Editorial Content Control" ability call me back!
I did convey our concerns with their interpretation of the 2ND and she said there is an ongoing review process there. This person sounds sincere
and asked for me to send her written points etc., may not change anything but worth a shot before the first million school kids get it implanted in their mind.
SO- I need something well written point by point "Clarification/Rebuttal" (See Duncans post for an idea)and maybe a few quotes from the founders.
I'd say more than a page is overkill for a reply, any help appreciated.

Original Post-
This is from their website www.constitutioncenter.org search for "guns".
This is the new tourist center much touted in the press. A writer named Linda Monk has the job of translating the Constitution for those who can't read evidently-
"The American Revolution was fought by minutemen, ready with their guns at a moment’s notice. Early Americans believed that a militia, composed of citizen-soldiers, was a better safeguard of their liberties than a standing or permanent army. Today the militia consists of the National Guard, drilling in state units. Does the Second Amendment protect only the right of the states to have militias, or does it give individuals a right to bear arms for self-defense as well as national defense? That question is at the heart of the debate over the Second Amendment and gun control."
