2nd Ammendment Rights: Should Guns Be Banned?

[Wetzel]

The gun amendment is just that, an amendment to the constitution. This gives the right to the federal government to change amendments, an example of this in action being prohibition.

Ashlee...This dosn't make sense to me.
The amendments to the Constitution carry the same weight as the rest of the constitution. To change an amendment requires another amendment. Article 5 of the Constitution gives the Federal government the right to change amendments, not the gun amendment.

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.

It also doesn't matter how it was suppose to be written, what matters is how it was actually written and accepted.

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
