I am not the only one who thinks so.

Of course we could.

Tell me....why are folks afraid of a constitutional convention? No one wants one. Why would that possibly be?

So, it's not people who think like me about whom you should be afraid. It's people who don't realize what changes could be wrought about whom you need to be concerned.

This constitution has already seen other amendments....why not an amending of the 2nd amendment? You honestly don't think that is impossible, do you?

xzins:

It is not wordplay to state the limits of a particular design.
As remote as it might be, it is still what the words say. Just because no one has yet attempted to change them does not prevent someone from attempting in the future to do so.

So you insist that we could repeal the 2nd through a flaw in the design of our Constitution.

Of course we could.

-- Lordy, -- save our Republic from those who think as you.

I am not the only one who thinks so.

I'm well aware that there even may be a majority who think like you.

Tell me....why are folks afraid of a constitutional convention? No one wants one. Why would that possibly be?

Because if enough thought like you, having one could end up in civil war.

An attempt to repeal our inalienable right to bear arms would likely mean the end of our union.

You honestly don't think that is impossible, do you?

It would never succeed, I can guarantee you that. Parts of America would never submit.
