Bad, bad, bad! We do not want a Constitutional battle at this time in this country! It’ll open the door to all kinds of tweeking with our Constitution.

The Constitution has already been tweaked beyond recognition by the courts and the executive branch. We have nothing to lose.

The 2nd amendment protects the rest of the constitution.

And I’m tried of turning the other cheek.

I believe you are thinking of Constitutional Convention. This is not the case. If (2) thirds (66%) of the Senate and House vote for (1) Amendment and ratified by (3) forths of the States, it becomes Constitutional law. It's another gift our Forefathers gave us to amend our Constitutional compact without the States calling for a Constitutional Convention.

May have the numbers wrong - I have the flu and the mind is at 66%.
