Why don't the folks who are critical of the 2nd Amendment implement implement that process? Seems like the obvious answer considering what their criticisms are.

I am not perfectly clear on the numbers, but I know for sure that enacting a NEW Amendment is a high (near impossible today) hurdle to get over. It needs something like 67 Senators to approve it. It would be hard to get 67 Senators to agree that the earth is round EVEN.
