Maybe that should be a clause added to the 2nd amendment the next time the Constitution gets changed...um, amended to better reflect the modern times in which we live.  While we're at it maybe we could also be a bit more specific about what kinds of firearms should be allowed, what their rate of fire should be, the number of bullets available in its clip, and also that each person attempting to participate in this not so well-regulated militia at least be given the proper pysch evaluation to know that he or she only intends to use said weapon in defense (and the occasional target practice/hunting, of course).

Super, the 2nd Amendment has never been changed or altered in our history.  So, why should we change it now? 

That's the dilemma.  

By the way, in what country do you live?

My country seems irrelevant to the discussion.  My point is that the 2nd amendment is by definition proof that the Constitution can be changed.  Some stoic white dudes 200 years ago couldn't fathom the technological advancements that were made in the 1800s, let alone the 1900s.
