Do you believe that the Second Amendment is arcane?

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Arguments over gun rights aside, I don't necessarily think it is helpful to have it in the constitution. I have trouble considering the right to bear arms, if it exists, to be so important that it must be constitutionally protected while other things, like gender equality, aren't. The 2nd amendment is unique to America yet I don't think we're any less susceptible to tyranny or an overreaching government when compared against the rest of the world.
