Um no.  You said we couldn't amend to take away a right.  And we can in the manner you just suggested, we could pass an amendment repealing or drastically altering the 2nd Amendment.  If repealing isn't taking away, I don't what is.

----Practically it isn't going to happen because Congress isn't going to propose it and the states wouldn't ratify it if they did.

Even a repealed right remains.....waiting for the next amendment.  The things we put on the page never go away.  If you don't see the nuance there, then you don't see the manuovering room that our politicians have come to love and depend upon.  Any hypothetical amendment cannot say "Amendment X to the constitution is that there is no amendment 2."  It -can- place so many additional qualifiers upon amendment 2 that, in effect, no one qualifies.  Again, your quote states, explicitly, that we are empowered to amend, not to remove...which is why we don't say remove, but repealed.  I agree that it's duplicitous......but it is what it is, and I'm not who made it that way, lol.

I fail to see any point whatsoever to this distinction, other than that you don't want to admit you were wrong, or mistyped, or hit the submit button too soon (long before you added the 90% of your post made after I quoted you).   The fact that the repealed 2nd Amendment would still be in the Constitution would not cause it to be a right.
