 Mainly, I think our elected officials are too stupid or venal to be allowed to even think about changing the Constitution.

 Actually, this is the main thing.
 I stand corrected about the gun-owning requirement.  Perhaps there was an earlier Swiss law or perhaps I waa ill-informed.
 

As for "We should all be allowed to protect our own lives" ... even if
you actually shot someone when "protecting" yourself, you'll still find
yourself in a court room having to prove that it was the only option,
and most likely come out with some form of criminal record.

 I think that would depend on what a "reasonable person" would deem a threat.  A guy with a knife who outweighed me by 100 pounds would probably be considered a threat and I wouldn't be hauled into court.  A skinny teen with a knife and I'd probably still be OK.  I'm amazed at how much stronger a man is than a same-size woman.

Nope. If you harm someone else, no matter what the reason, you're likely to end up in court on charges ... and in these days of Political Correctness idiocy, you are the one more likely to go to prison while the criminal (if still alive) gets off with a warning for being a nauthy boy. It has happened before. You are the one who purposely caused harm, they only threatened to.
