Amend the 2nd Amendment!

The US constitution was written some 221 years ago and what's in it applied to a degree to what was known in these early days.

Back then, and long before cell phones, internet and Facebook, it couldn't envision the inclusion of provisions such as waiting periods, convicted felons, crazy individuals or use of weapons of mass-destruction. Likewise, it didn't not include any provision about self-protection.
 
It's about time to accept the fact that the Constitution is simply “a work in progress.” Today, the time has come to review the amendment and rewrite it so it can allows self-protection without opening the door to mass-annihilation.
