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.

I'm hopeful for a repeal of Wayne LaPierre.

Well then next time there is an open seat on the Supreme Court, I'll vote for you to be put there, rather than the dickholes we have now who believe that phrase is open to interpretation.

And repealing 2A would also allow us to craft something in its place that reflected today's realities.

Hopefully that happens before Trump appoints Wayne LaPierre.
