That’s what I’ve been saying only to be assured over and over again that, no the “smart” people, the patriots, will control such a convention. Um hm.

Except an article five convention, may only propose amendments. Those amendments cannot change or repeal anything ratified before 1808. Finally any of the amendments proposed, would have to go through the ratification process, and receive approval from three fourths of the states, before it would go into effect. So even if they did what they legally cannot, like remove the second amendment, do you really think that they are going to get enough states to agree. Will TX,AL,AK,VA,MS,CO,AZ,GA,TN,KY,ID,MT,UT,WY,KA,NE,OK,NM,ND,SD,and SC are going to agree with that. Or the people in those states let them agree to that? There are many other rights, and liberties that I think would get the same treatment if liberals tried to get rid of it.
