Why do we have to go that far in the first place? There were gun laws up until George II ascended, just reenact those.
Once that is done, *then* go for constitutional amendment. That will be a long hard slog, it's not the 19th century anymore, when it was a lot easier (you think propaganda is bad now, it was worse then) to get changes to the constitution.
We don't have orators any longer, they are too scared of the internet tubes. It will take years, decade maybe, to get a constitutional change and we need someone to pound the message day in and day out. Quite possibly PBO can do this after he leaves office. He would be fantastic at getting common sense to prevail and get people thinking about real change.
Go after the laws or reenact laws already on the books. Or even better, get rid of laws that were written after Columbine, that keep sane guns laws from being written in the first place.
