The authors of the 2nd amendment could not have imagined how society has become today.
As several people pointed out, Constitutional Amendments are not carved in stone. It's one of the fallacies promoted by thr NRA.
The 18th Amendment was ratified in 1920, prohibiting the manufacture and sale of alcohol. It's what many people wanted at the time. When it didn't work, the 21st Amendment was passed in 1933, effectively repealing the 18th Amendment. In the short span of 23 years 2/3rds of the states approved both the prohibition of alcohol, and its legalization. Times change. People change. Amendments, believe it or not, change.
I wish Hawaii would attempt gun insurance first, that may solve the problem without waiting 20 or 30 years for 2/3rds of the crazy states to get on the bandwagon.
I said, ‘Wrong, Justin (Trudeau), you do.’ I didn’t even know. ... I had no idea. I just said, ‘You’re wrong.’ - President Donald J. Trump, 3/14/18
