“It will, almost from the outset. be taken over by radical hardcore leftists ...”

I believe that Hostage was justified in his harsh criticism that, "Your argument is a vacuous rant of ignorance," because if you had simply done simple arithmetic you would know that of 99 state legislative bodies any miscarriage of article 5 convention of the states can be stopped by only 13 legislatures from 13 different states. If you done any research you would know that Republicans own the vast majority of those legislative houses.

That is why there has been no Article V movement from the left.

If you have actually done the arithmetic but proceeded anyway, well, the criticism of your post is more than justified.

Now that you know the math, I am sure you will depart from the group of Article V opponents who predictably chant the "vacuous rant" of Phyllis Shafley or the NRA.

Anyone can object on different grounds, perhaps one who likes the idea that the Supreme Court amends the Constitution at will, or likes the idea that the deep state is amending the Constitution nearly everyday in the bowels of regulation-land. But now that you know the arithmetic, you have no excuse for "vacuity".

You sharp knives of the COS army, are fortunately still quite a few States away from finding out just how ignorant you really are.

The left does math, but they have the deciding factor in their hip pocket which COS doesn’t even consider. They know how stupid COS is and are just patiently waiting for you boys to “win” the day.

"If you done any research you would know that Republicans own the vast majority of those legislative houses."

Two questions:

1.) What are the margins in those Republican controlled legislatures?

2.) How much would it cost to buy sufficient Republican votes to have the 2nd Amendment legislated out of existence?

When it comes to politicians, especially establishment Republican politicians, everything has a price. I consider my liberty and the 2nd Amendment, which goes a long way towards protecting that liberty, too valuable to put up for sale - someone might just decide to meet the price.
