The practical effect of that amendment may be equal to removing something, when it is, we say that the amendment has "repealed" something. We can certainly come up with an amendment which has the practical effect of removing a right, but we cannot simply remove it - we can't just erase it from the document. We can't say "fuck your 2nd amendment", which is what was proposed.
The Second Amendment can certainly be repealed, just as Prohibition was in 1933.
