So you're confirming that, anyway, the US Constitution can have another Amendment added or an old one revoked or modified. As I said before, it is a matter of a legal proceeding - it might be a difficult task but it can be done if the conjuncture is right.

Regarding Christianism and religion I strongly believe that it must be left out of any political discussion. Religion is a matter of faith, with its dogmas. Although I'm pretty certain that the Chritian guided several principles written by the Founding Fathers in your Constitution, their most important contribution (and its most historically contribution) was to creat a secular Nation, with freedom of religion.

But, again, in my humble opinion, it has nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment, laws, and the possibility of changing gun control rules.

Respectfully,

Douglas
