Gun Control & RKBA

out there is that people have never sat down and read the Constitution and, in your case, the section that particularly talks about Amending and ratification.

Having said that, you have 1 part correct in that a Constitutional Convention can be called. The salient part is here:

But you need to continue to read Article V:



To get any proposed change (in this case the 2nd Amendment), the proposed amendment must be ratified by 3/4 of the states' legislatures or conventions. Now Congress could propose an alternative ratification process but that has only happened once with the ratification of the 21st Amendment repealing the 18th Amendment. Congress' action was in response to United States v. Sprague via House Joint Resolution Proposing the Twenty-First Amendment to the Constitution.

Based upon current alignment of red vs blue states, there is zero chance that there will be 38 states needed to ratify your proposed amendment. The drafters of the Constitution established this high bar to make changes to prevent willy-nilly changes to the Constitution because folks didn't have anything better to do that day. California didn't exactly get the memo which is why their constitution has been amended more than 500 times in the last 143 years (or averaging more than 3 times a year).

Furthermore, the verbiage for changing of the 2nd Amendment would have to be almost draconian to overcome 43 states that specifically grant the right to keep and bear arms which may poison some states' efforts to ratify your suggested constitutional amendment.

The part of your suggestion that, to me at least, is scary is that if you are successful in "occupy(ing) the (Constitutional Convention) as liberal-progresive-destroyers of the 2nd amendment" and tossing this amendment, the door has been opened to have other amendments that you agree with getting tossed because the other side took your blueprint and used it.

Be very careful what you wish for...it could blow up in your face.
