If an american citizen started that process you would obviously call him a traitor or a fake american, right?

Nope, would not agree with it, would not like it, and would campaign against it. I believe in our Constitution and support what is in it including the process to change it.

Ok, I gave you my opinion; I can't repeat what I have already wrote... I understand that to me the Constitution is just a piece of paper... as the Constitution of Italy, in fact
P.S. just to know: what if the majority of USA people wanted to repeal the 2A? Seriously.

Have other parts of it been repealed in the past?

I am assuming that you like living in the USA?

Our Constitution is what makes this country what it is and what makes so many people want to move here and become citizens.

You might want to learn some of our history. Talk to some people that have fled other countries and came to the USA. Ask them what they think of our Constitution.

There are mechanisms in place to change the constitution. It's not easy, but it is possible. What most people in other countries do not understand is that the constitution is a document that limits what the government can do, it is not considered a document where it is telling people what they can or cannot do. These are also one of the ammendments labeled "The Bill of Rights" - these are deemed God given rights, it's not considered something a government can take away. And also, there is very little support to banning firearms outright in the US, politically or by popular decree. Increased regulations, maybe, and even that is a tough fight (one that I will fight against with my right to vote), but not banning - no way.

But you also have to remember that we have a judicial branch that is constantly interpreting and re-interpreting what these constitutional ammendments mean and the 2nd ammendment has already been through exhaustive court cases up to the Supreme Court.
