The ban will not work and will be lifted by spring. The main point of the second amendment was meant to give citizens the RIGHT to defend themselves against invading armies, tresspasers and Indians. The amendment also gives citizens the right to defend themselves. If the amendment is taken away who's going to be able to defend the country if we are attacked and and loose part of the country, no one (without the amendment). That is why we need to keep this amendment in the constitution. Also many hunters like I are going to be very upset and protest the ban on gun ownership (if amendment is banned). Like I said who will help defend the peice of nation under foreign rule if that ever happens. That would be us, you and I. The everyday citizens of america.

Setting aside the fact that the Second is part of the Bill of Rights and for all intents and purposes part of the original Constitution, Constitutional Amendments, regardless of their number, ARE part of the Constitution. If you want to change it, get another Constitutional Amendment. Until the Amendment passes, the Second Amendment means exactly what it says. Amendments are part of the Constitution.

To say we cannot change a change is an argument that needs to be changed.
