Convention? Worst idea possible. It would be hijacked just like elections and used to destroy what little freedoms are left.

The amendments would still have to be ratified.

The BOR and the Constitution would be gutted and Obama would be made king.

Do you think that 38 States would ratify those sorts of changes?
If you do, then we are already lost.
If you do not, then why be against it?

What GOOD would a convention do?
The Constitution AS WRITTEN is MORE than
adequate. The problem is not what it says,
the problem is those in power do their best
to ignore and sidestep it. Anything we add they
don’t like would be ignored just as effectively
as the current contents and the convention would
give them the chance to do what they want to
do desperately....edit the Second Amendment or
repeal it altogether. Once that happens the great
gun confiscation begins. Large portions of society
currently don’t support disarmament because while
they don’t fully understand the true meaning of the
Amendment they know it exists and that we can’t be
totally disarmed. If the Second is amended or annulled
many millions of sheep would go “ I guess we can’t own
guns now, they all need to be turned in”. It would be the
wedge the tyrants need to finish the job.

Nothing good can come from a convention.....a LOT of
BAD things could happen though.
