Wither you believe it is pointless or not it is the last chance short of Civil War to save the Republic. We have nothing left to lose.
You want to see the 2nd Amendment taken out of the BoR's completely? Have an Article V Convention. You have EVERYTHING to lose with Article V. I understand the concept. I think it's a great concept. But when you have a congress/resident that doesn't care about the Constitution to begin with, it will not turn out even remotely good.
