and the only amendment that would likely have any chance of being approved would be one that returns the Second Amendment to the position the Founders envisioned, when it only applied to federal law.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Any/all bizarre supreme court interpretations aside, a simple reading of the plain text of the Bill of Rights makes it clear that the First Amendment is the only one of the first eight that is intended to limit only the federal government. The 1st is the only amendment in the Bill of Rights which states: "Congress shall make no law...". The rest of them are simple declarations and they restrict the powers of all levels of government.

Limits on their own governmental powers is part of the "deal" the states signed on to when they ratified the Constitution.
