That doesn't even make sense. Treaties and international law are not enforcible domestically without Congress specifically passing a law enforcing them. So that's the situation as it stands now, no amendment needed.
UN small arms treaty is a perfect example. And with the nuclear option opened, why should a simple majority be able to backdoor ammend the constitution?
Thats not how you change the second ammendment.
I believe the 2nd ammendment should have said the people can have any weaponry available to the government without restrictions

The second amendment says nothing of the sort and thank god it doesnt... Do you think the second amendment allows or should allow citizens to have nukes? Drones? longrange missles? fighter jets?

Do you know what the nuclear option is?
The nuclear option removed the threshold for cloture. That is, you only need a simple majority to call a vote now.
A treaty ratification still requires two thirds of the Senators to actually vote for it after the vote is called.

Of what? A treaty that can't be enforced domestically without specific action from Congress? Like I said. They're all like that.
EDIT-
Oh, sorry, my bad. I should have figured your statement would in some way relate to a lie.
