Constitutions are a living document. It won't take an amendment, but it will take a change in beliefs significant enough to cause the courts - particularly the SCOTUS to re-interpret the Second Amendment in a way that allows for this. Even something back to the early 1970s, before the NRA persuaded the American legal system to 'amend' the amendment into what it is today.
