If we all agree to it, and it benefits the people, then we should keep it. But clearly there isn’t broad support for it. And arguably a lot of lives were lost unnecessarily in hanging onto the old Amendment.
The Constitution is a living document, and we’re supposed to update it to meet changes in the world and in society. But the conservative mind resists the very idea that the world changes. They resist that values set forth before they were born could be altered. In practice, it’ll be a very difficult uphill battle to strike the Second Amendment. I sincerely doubt it will occur in my life-time, even if there is a mass shooting every day (oops! we’re already seeing that on average).
