If a Constitutional convention is called then everything, including the 2nd amendment, is on the table for change or elimination. I’d rather a single amendment be added to change the current cluster that the black robed, usurping swine are causing. I could see a bunch of RINOs and dems getting together to eliminate the 2nd amendment in order to “compromise” on some other nonevent.

True about everything being on the table. However, without a Convention, the Congress must pass any proposed Amendment by a 2/3 majority in both houses. There is no way the Republican RINO establishment and Democrat elites are going to allow an amendment to pass Congress limiting the power of the federal government.

Perhaps a wide open convention is our last hope because the existing institutions are unable to reform themselves. The people will either take notice and demand the Convention do the right thing or they won’t. If the people, or the states, won’t demand the necessary “clarifications” to the Constitution to protect us from the federal judiciary and executive, we are lost anyway.
