Gun Amendment Shot Down

According to UPI, “the bill was considered the most extensive effort ever to expand federal laws to allow weapons ownership” and it was shot down by the Senate.

Question: What about that pesky little 2nd Amendment to the Constitution? You know, the one that states “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Why does this amendment to the bill that was shot down today even need to be discussed? The right to keep and bear arms is clearly a right of the people. Neither the federal or state governments have the authority to supersede that right, unless the Congress eliminates or alters the 2nd Amendment.
