When the Article V constitution convention meets, they need to consider the following:

“The United States Government shall never use armed force against Citizens of the United States of American. When force is required, it shall be the responsibility, and administered under the authority of, the local sheriff.”

I’m real leery of a constitutional convention, for many reasons. What’s to stop OFA, Soros, Bloomberg, International ANSWER, Occupy and many other such people from showing up and obliterating the constitution? Remember: Hitler gained power through legitimate means, not a coup de etat.

The United States Government shall never use armed force against Citizens of the United States of American.

Really?

US citizens convert to Islam, go to Yemen for training, and 20 of them return. Launch a Beslan-style heavily armed terrorist attack on a local middle school.

And we're constitutionally forbidden to repel armed attack on the USA using military force simply because the attackers are citizens?

Also, have you considered the challenges involved with getting accurate citizenship status info from attackers?

Sounds like an incentive for the executive branch to “own” all the sheriffs.
