You mean foolish and short sighted. Loose constructionism is reponsible for the growth of socialism in this country. If you want change, go through the process and propose your Amendment to remove the Second Amendment. Then when it passes we will know that it's time to hit the reset button.
Loose constructionism, beginning around the time of FDR, is also responsible for the stengthening of America into a superpower. Nothing lasts—civilizations rise and fall. Socialism will ultimately destroy the country—so would Constitutional Originalism.
The old Articles of Conferation were almost impossible to reform—that’s why the Drafters of the Constitition ignored the procedures and just went ahead and wrote up their own document. The same thing happens nowadays—the Constition is too hard to reform, so it is just changed through the Courts instead of the formal procedure.
