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!
I trust that the majority of Americans love liberty and will uphold the Constitution. In fact many recent polls show very strong support for the 2A. That is NOT the point.
Should someone in New York State come to the attention of the authorities and they move on him with force to arrest him for the crime of having a single magazine with excess capacity, and he pulls a molon labe, killing a decorated State Trooper who leaves behind a wife and two sweet children (here see how sweet this now ravished family looks?) what is the liberal media going to do with that story.
The point is that the public has no option but to support existing government. Calling for a Constitutional Convention gives the public an option they didn’t have before- and do you think the public is going to take an option that decreases liberty or one that increases it?
Do you think the public is going to vote to give the Hitlers of our time more power or to take power away from them? Well, look at how the voters in quite a few states voted with respect to ObamaCare. Zero voters have voted for it, and many have voted to forbid their states to allow it.
I think we have the means to redefine the federal government if only we would take the effort to explain the need. Let the David Gregorys of the world tell the public why government needs more power and has not abused the power we have given it. Let us have that public debate.
Here is a question for you: What rights can we lose that are not already in danger? With a million people in Florida and 3/4 of a million in Texas who have CCW permits, are voters going to repeal the 2A? How many state legislatures are going to vote to ratify a new Constitution that lacks a 2A?
