It seems that in several US states, the people can change the impact of the second amendent.
Through an initiative
Some resolutions were concretely taken in 2016 in several states, but still look very weak for a European citizen.
Quote:
Guns
Approved: Washington state passed the first gun control ballot measure of the night, with the approval of Initiative 1491, which allows courts to issue protection orders to remove an individual’s access to firearms, such as domestic abusers.
Approved: California voters followed suit, passing a proposal that requires people buying ammunition to undergo background checks and outlaws possession of high-capacity ammunition magazines.
Approved: Nevada voters narrowly passed a measure to expand background checks, requiring that firearm transfers go through a licensed dealer. The proposal exempts transfers between immediate family members.
Rejected: Gun control advocates were dealt a major blow in Maine with the narrow defeat of Question 3, a measure that called for universal background checks. The proposal was supported by billionaire Michael Bloomberg and would have been a big victory for gun safety groups in a state that has traditionally supported gun rights.

Maybe in the most democratic states, it's time to the population to revoke the 2nd amendement through an initiative.
