sigh... a repeal of the 2nd amendment would require 31 states to sponsor a specific amendment to do so.

It would NOT arise from a convention where states proposed:

1) the ability of 2/3 of the states to set aside a uSSC ruling
2) repeal of 16th amendment
3) mandatory term limits for Congress
4) line item veto for executive office on budgets
5) repeal of 17th amendment

.... all of which are on kind of a conservative “wish list”

anyway, a con con which proposes THESE SPECIFIC AMENDMENTS cannot.. CANNOT.... CANNOT be magically transmogrified into a catchall convention to make NOW the new Congress, install Al Sharpton as president for life, and repeal the first and second amendment (and the fourth and fifth for good measure).

The hysterical blubbering nonsense that invariably arises about this junk shows you WAY WAY more about the ignorance of the process of Article V and the irrational willingness to remain so than it does the actual dangers.

A political environment that is so corrupted that can produce such a magical event is such that your silly little piece of paper will not save you anyway.

You have no idea what Article V says, do you?

Article V states "...on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments..."

Article V says NOTHING ABOUT THE CONTENT OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. The States petitioning congress for a convention do not also enumerate what specific amendments are to be discussed at such convention. That is left for the convention itself.
