Unfortunate, as I understand it, and I could be wrong, but if you go through the process to open up the Constitution to Ammendments, you open up every single word and phrase to change, with the exception to one single part, which escapes me at this moment. edit, found it. The ammendment process itself can't be ammended http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ft...dable.html

So, be carefull what you wish for. Codifying reproductive rights, altering the 2nd A, and more voter protections might also cost religious freedoms and only male and female being recognized from a legal standpoint.

But it also could be that they never foresaw that society would erode to the extent that it has, criminals being not punished appropriately, victims being treated like the criminal, criminals having more rights than the victims, and that people would abdicate their own safety for others to protect, making them the perfect victim.

There will not be an amendment anytime soon - except maybe to force ethical rules on the SCOTUS.

Your statements that the Second Amendment interpretation has been resolved is not accurate. It has changed over time, and the current set of SCOTUS 'originalists' have left plenty of room for further intepretation.

I stand by my statements that there are plenty of changes that can be made within CURRENT interpretation. In each case, to my knowledge they have passed legal tests within recent timelines. You keep claiming they will NOT stand a SCOTUS challenge; I do not know by what evidence you say that.

For example, background checks pass SCOTUS: we do them poorly and with tons of loopholes. Close those. Second, registration is fully acceptable. We need REAL registration rules. Third, I stand by the view that insurance TIED to the first three will do two things:

1) If you are a law-abiding and responsible gun-owner, you are PROTECTED from lawsuits if your gun gets stolen and then used in a crime.

2) Insurance will enable/empower victims to start to get real compensation. Right now, they are lucky to even see justice. Financial balance is a key part of our civil society.

Ok, now come and tell me how any/all of this is against the Second Amendment. Except, please provide examples of modern court rulings that say this is not possible.
