Clearly there must be conditions and restraints added to a firearms amendment.

Here's one simple attempt by John Paul Stevens - from https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-five-e...

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms when serving in the Militia shall not be infringed."

But this says nothing about the rights of people who are not currently serving in a militia, nor what a militia actually is in practice.

I'm sure there are much better attempts out there. It seems that the main theme of any rewritten 2A would be about limiting the right to "bear arms", rather than granting it.

And should a new 2A say anything about the right to "bear" any other means of offense or defense, such as knives, brass knuckles, clubs, tasers, bear spray, etc.? Would I have the right to walk around "armed to the teeth" with a collection of such things? Currently, New York limits what types of knives can be bought and carried: no "gravity knives" for example.
