If I were to move to NY or California, how exactly would RKBA be helpful to me being able to obtain and carry firearms?
Because if you moved to my country, you would be able to get the license and guns in quite a straightforward process (provided that you would be able to learn the language to pass a written exam). Hell, you might be able to get a full auto on collector's license here.
The only advantage US has that I see is that it would take two thirds of law makers to change the second amendment. It would take a simple majority to change our firearm law. So yes, we do need to push further to get gun rights in to the Czech constitution & Charter of fundamental rights and freedoms, but otherwise US is not that far ahead.
Let's see. Here in CA the huge majority of firearms that are legal in other states are legal here. Further, CA is well on its way to becoming a shall-issue state when it comes to CCW. Were it not for the Bill of Rights, there would be far less gun ownership freedom here in CA.
In a practical, political sense, the Second Amendment isn't amendable. That situation doesn't exist in any European country that I know of.
