amendment process 

The process of changing or adding to the US Constitution. The original writers of the Constitution decided to make this task difficult by stating that 2/3 of Congress had to approve it; and after that, 3/4 of the states had to approve it. This process is irksome and time-consuming.
The amendment process caused the law 3 years time before it finally passed.

Berry Amendment

The Berry Amendment is a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would purportedly fix everything that is wrong with the country. It is famous for its brevity: "Money is not speech; corporations are not people."
If Congress would pass the Berry Amendment, it would end corporate influence in Washington forever.

2nd Amendment 

The right given to Americans to own firearms for hunting, sports shooting, self protection and to defend against tyranny both foreign and domestic.

America came to being when our forefathers sailed across the ocean to escape their OWN countries religious persecution of them for being Puritans, so they knew a thing about how their own birth country can turn to tyrannical ideals, this became even more evident when the British attacked. During the early war for independence, which was thrust upon early America, many soldiers had to use their own guns from home due to the fact that gun production couldn't keep up with the demand, which without guns being so widespread, the war would not have gone in Americas favor.

After being freed from British control, it was evident that if this nation was to become a shinning beacon to all those wishing to be free, not only would its citizens need to be ready for another attack from a foreign power, but also be vigilant of corruption in their own country and have the means to fix said corruption by their own hands. Thus, the bill of rights was enacted.
Ukrainian Citizen: "I sure wish we'd had a 2nd Amendment like those Americans have before Putin attacked us, then we'd wouldn't have this weapons shortage. At least we can have guns now."

Second Amendment 

Clearly the governments way of telling every citizen that they have the right to a pair of bear arms, whether artificial, or through surgical implants.
"Dude check out that guys bear arms, they are so second amendment"
