Agree.

We need Reps in Congress that will craft specific amendments to get to the States for a vote.

I am (currently) against a Constitutional Convention being called as (for me) it will lead to a Liberal takeover and quicker destruction of the country.

I was of the same opinion against a Convention until I realized that the mood that we see in so many states taking this action against health care makes a strong statement about the type of proposed amendments they would ratify.

We can also see this in how many states have been increasingly receptive to having “shall issue” concealed carry laws. A state that would pass “shall issue” will not turn around and ratify a destruction of the RKBA.

So, we have two checks with the Convention: what it would vote to pass on to the states and what the states would ratify with a sufficient super-majority.

In any case, I think it is productive to discuss what changes would be made. That process has been begun by Prof. Randy Barnett's Federalism Amendment. See: www.federalismamendment.com
