They knew that we would need to change The Constitution that is why there are 2 ways to amend The Constitution. The Second Amendment was about the ownership of military weapons. So, we could be proficient with their use when called up to war, for self-defense, for food and for protecting from a tyrannical govt.
In 1785 Thomas Jefferson wrote to his fifteen-year-old nephew, Peter Carr, regarding what he considered the best form of exercise: "...I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprize, and independance to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks."

What part of the people's right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED don't you understand? Arm the dang teachers /staff. All the mass murders have only one thing in common GUN FREE ZONES so ban the zones
I am a supporter of democracy, if the people of this country democratically decide that the 2nd amendment should also allow people to buy tanks, grenades and rocket launchers than the constitution should be amended to allow it. If the people of this country democratically decide that AR-15s should not be allowed to be owned by the public then the constitution should be amended to say what weapons people are allowed to own.
I understand the constitution just fine and I understand that it can be changed by the people of this country...
