Wrong!

Article V allows the people to introduce Amendments to the Constitution, not to “rewrite” anything.

Those Amendments voted on an approved by the Article V Convention would then have to be approved by 38 of the 50 states, just like every other amendment.

You fail to see that we have been witnessing a re-write of the Constitution ever since Woodrow Wilson used his “living Constitution” argument to allow Federal judges to redefine the Constitution.

What you fear is already here. The Left has gotten you to fear the cure, which was written into the Constitution by the Founders.

An amendment IS A REWRITE of the Constitution.

All it takes is:

34th Amendment: The second article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.

And there is no set time limit on how long states have to ratify an amendment. The 27th amendment is an example, where it was proposed in 1789 and finally ratified in 1992.

So the repeal of the Second Amendment could be proposed, and be ratified perhaps decades later.
