The last amendment to the Constitution I believe was the 27th Amendment back in 1992. Since then, we've waited long enough.
The problem is, the 2nd Amendment applied to a much different time in U.S. history and before the Civil War. Considering how much the U.S. has changed since the original amendment, it's still important to educate more of the public on exactly what's in it.
I don't think the gun nuts really understand the 2nd Amendment as much as they think they do.
In that case, though, neither does the Supreme Court. Listen, I think it's completely absurd for there to be a constitutional right to own a gun. I wouldn't prohibit all gun ownership, but it should be regulated by statute, just like driving. So I'm all for a constitutional amendment that repeals the right to own any weaponry and authorizes Congress, state legislatures and city councils to pass any law they like that sets standards for regulating arms ownership. I just think it's wildly optimistic to believe we could get such an amendment through the requisite number of state legislatures, even when Congress would agree to it, and that's also quite far off.
A Trump judge ruled there’s a Second Amendment right to own machine guns

Insane! Someone should argue there's a right to own howitzers!
I personally won't feel safe until I have the right to an ICBM that obliterates everything in a 10-mile radius.
But there were no machine guns owned by the average American household back in the late 18th century!
This is why the 2nd Amendment needs to be modified or straight out repealed.
Repeal would be the right move. There's no reason gun ownership shouldn't be regulated by statute. But it's very hard to amend the constitution.
