In most countries the constitution is seen as a mere piece of legislation, subject to constant evolution and adapting to the needs, morals and values of the present.
Many Americans seem to look at this 18th century document like orthodox Muslims look at the Quran: the direct word of God, authoritative, frozen in time and untouched by modernity.
Laws evolve! Often people talking about the holy 2nd Amendment fail to notice what their are talking about, an AMENDMENT! Any doubts about the meaning of this noun?

Actually, no, we don't. I understand that the 2nd Amendment is an Amendment, but the 2nd Amendment is not a law, as it supersedes all laws. Now are YOU clear on what an Amendment is?
