Why can't this be placed on the ballot and voted on by the American people ?
Prohibition ( 18th Amendment ) was repealed by the 21st Amendment, why can't the
2nd Amendment be repealed ?
Because you won't get even so much as a plurality to vote for it, when in fact you need a supermajority in both houses of Congress:

The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures.
And then after that you need 3/4ths of the states. You'd get less than half.
