Are we close to holding a Constitutional Convention yet, or are people still worried that a Convention will take away their RKBA? For my part, we still have at least on peaceful option left and we are obligated to discuss it. And know that the more serious the discussion about a Convention becomes and the more people join in, the more frantic it will make the left. And keep in mind that whatever a Convention passes must also be ratified by a super-majority of the surviving states.

I’ll ask you again ... Do you actually trust the people in power to hold a legitimate CC to protect the rights of the people contained therein the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? I do not!

The Constitution as it is written is just fine.

I am totally AGAINST a Constitutional Convention. This would only open the doors to destruction of the Constitution.

The Constitution was written to protect us against corrupt tyrannical government, which is exactly what we are facing now. Why would you allow them the opportunity to complete the socialization of this country?

To what good is a CC?

None, it will accomplish nothing. It will fail to hold in check the government.
