Congress created the 18th amendment (prohibition) in 1920 and then repealed it via the 21st amendment in 1933
And when they decided it was time to get the money train rolling they created the 16th amendment in 1913 to make income tax constitutional.
Our political leaders have the ability to do whatever they want. All they have to do is amend the constitution and it's a done deal for anything they want to do.
And again..."mass killings" Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people including 19 under the age of 6 in a split second using a home made bomb.
We're gonna have to have a lot more mass shootings this year to catch up to what he did in the blink of an eye.

Amending the Constitution isn't necessary. "...as part of a well-regulated militia..." is already in there. We need to start regulating.
And I'd be much more comfortable if everyone who wanted to kill innocent people - the kids at Columbine, the guy at Sandy Brook, the guy at the movie theater, etc. had to concoct their own bombs. They take way more effort than pulling a trigger, and the finished product is typically unreliable.
