As a fellow European, I am also regularly surprised by the absolute reverence to the US Constitution. Sure, it is a fundamental law and it cannot be changed lightly, but like any other piece of legislation it seems normal to update it regularly. Edit : after looking at the actual list of amendments, at least one was repelled after being introduced (regarding the Prohibition) so it seems they are not as immutable as I believed.

The whole amendment process is designed exactly for this reason. The problem is, nobody seems to want to actually propose a 2nd Amendment repeal and begin the legal process and see if it actually works (because it won't). So instead, everyone gets to whine about gun rights on social media instead of actually working towards accomplishing the goals they claim to be in favor of.
