I would argue that the 2nd Amendment is crystal clear:

- A well regulated Militia,

- being necessary to the security of a free State,

- the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,

- shall not be infringed.

Thirteen of its 27 words deal with the necessity of defense in the absence of a standing army. It's the cock-eyed interpretations of said amendment since Wayne LaPierre arrived on the scene that have fucked everything up.

As to your immutable contitution, that's also since Wayne LaPierre.

We couldn't pass the ERA. I'm not hopeful for a repeal of the 2nd Amendment.
