we both know good enough that times have changed a lot since then.
2000 years ago the bible was the law. millions of people have been killed because they found the excuse in the bible.
a constitution mirrors the problems of the time when it was written.
to keep it as an unchangeable dogma is not smart is is dumb.
you can 1 to 1 compare it with the problems caused by conservative islam.
they also do nothing else as doing what is written in a hundred of years old book.
so how can this go together ?
america wanted to be the most progressive civilization of the planet and is not even able to liberate itself from obsolete laws ?
why not burn witches again ?
btw this 2nd amendment is not really an american invention.
it has itīs roots in england - so nothing really unique or original what you would lose.

The US Constitution is not a static old document that never changes. This why we have "amendments", meaning add-ons or additions to the original Constitution. So we DO change with the times (remember slavery?)
My proposal is the most Democratic. We cannot simply change the 2nd Amendment (or amend the Amendment if you will). No, we would have to abolish the 2nd Amendment and then ADD a "new" Amendment.
This new Amendment would be based on the current 2nd Amendment but include background checks, stricter control laws like IDs, etc. The debate would get most heated when discussing what type of guns (and ammunition) will be legal and which is not. But America should have a National Special Amendment Vote to see how the Country feels. What with all the shootings, almost daily now, this is an Emergency situation and our Dear Leaders should show leadership and get the ball rolling on changing the Constitution ASAP.
