It is not without some risk however. The Communists from NY, MA, OR, CA, would send the craziest of crazies there as disruptions. The would seek to repeal the 2nd, add right to abortion, a chicken in every pot, and a good house, healthcare, and so forth.

Throw in a corrupt media, who would seek to strongarm anyone who went to go along with communist proposals, this might be a bad idea.

The congressional delegations of the states you list can propose whack-job amendments any time they wish.

Article V merely offers another route to offer amendments that goes around the tyrants of Washington, DC.

The risk is VERY limited. The Conventions purpose and scope is limited to PROPOSING changes and amendments. It can't actually change ANYTHING.

For any changes to take place the proposed amendments would then be put to a vote of the states and would require 38 states to ratify or approve to actually change the constitution. This is a very high bar indeed.

This is also the reason to not fear liberals at all in this process. The ideas of the left have ALWAYS been supported by a very small minority in this country. This is the reason the left must use the courts, lies, and utter corruption to move its agenda forward. If given a straight up vote of the people from each state the liberals would never win anything.

Repeal the 2nd amendment? you've got to be kidding. Put your thinking cap on. If the left could repeal the second amendment then they would have proposed and done just that many decades ago. It's impossible and the left knows it.
