People are afraid an article V convention would go far beyond its charter.

Not afraid it would exceed it’s charter. Just do not understand why we should have an Article V convention. There is no reason to believe the convention could reach consensus on any issue. Does anyone believe the blue states would support any red state initiative? New York or California will not support a balanced budget for example. The red states will not support abortion. So why even bother?

By proposing such, Newsome has become a national enemy subject to removal for cause

Dims would rather work through ATF, executive orders and judges than the Constitution.

You can bet your bippy that after the Democrats have pretty much decimated the Middle Class if they steal the 2024 election their first action will be to enact executive orders disarming all law abiding, not gang banger or criminals or illegals, citizens and then goodbye Republic.

“private possession of assault weapons and other weapons of war”

I think there are no specific definitions in there so a blanket approach to restricting weapons could be had. What I quoted above could include any weapon at all, be it a firearm, knife, sword or whatever that could be banned. Any weapon at all that could possibly be used in war could be banned.

With regard to “assault weapons”, I purchased my first AR 15 last year and love it. It’s fun for target practice and can be very useful in certain self defense scenarios, even though my preference is a Judge or 12 ga for home defense.

I actually SUPPORT Gavin doing this, although I oppose the convention because ‘changing the rules’ (the Constitution) means nothing to Fascists who cannot even follow existing rules...so even if Red States got changes to the Constitution enacted, Democrat judges would simply declare the changes to be ‘Unconstitutional’ - that’s how they operate, and some day Mark Levin will figure that out.

As to why I support Gavin on this, it is because he is ADMITTING that the Second Amendment allows private gun ownership, which is very, very, rare for a Democrat.

Hey pretty boy. The Constitution doesn’t need amending. That would be an insurrection. Why don’t you just take you ass out shopping with tax payer dollars and call that good.

————-
I was trained by the Air Force on using a S&W Model 15, 6-shot .38 special revolver during service in the Cold War era. Is that now a “weapon of war?”
