Yes, Monty, the constitution can be amended which is even more of a reason why you need common sense and practicality behind your arguments, not just following the words already in it. It was created as a living document and thankfully so.

Is this anti-Constitution view welcome on FR?

It was not created as a "living document" in the way most folks use that term. Yes it can be amendmended, but as far as the right to keep and bear arms goes, it has not been. Every soldier, sailor, marine and airman is or has been sworn to support and defend it as written, including yours truly. Not as some political appointee in a black robe "interprets" it, but rather as written and understood when ratified.
