So, it's a failure of the US ability to implement policy, not a failure of enacted policy to be able to make a difference.

Luckily, it's an Ammedment that is subject to interpretation, change, and/or removal.

Recall that US history has examples of Ammendments being both added and removed, that recently the Federalists saw fruit of a 30 year long campaign to stack the judicial pipeline, and the US landed on the moon.

The country is capable of difficult things, it's a matter of finding the will and making the grind.
