Examples of Amendments changing/repealing amendments maybe could be better shown with prohibition? (18th 1920 / 21st 1933)
Hmmm...Alcohol would otherwise still be mostly illegal? Yay, Mafia!!!

Of course the 2nd amendment did amend the Constitution - and yet its purposes have been infringed quite often (THE Militias were re-created, the people's right to K/B arms infringed, commerce clause used, AWB, hi-cap mag bans, etc.) - so if doesn't REALLY matter when it/IF comes to the will of We, the People...or at least their chosen reps.
