Convention of The States

Be careful what you ask for. It is in the constitution. If one were to occur the entire Constitution is open for change, including the bill of rights and the 2nd.

Keep in mind the first Constitutional convention was a meeting of the states to tweak the Articles of Confederation. They wound up scrapping that and creating a whole new government, mostly in secret.

Yes. This is my understanding. EVERYTHING is opened for possible change. Keep in mind that the reps in this procedure would likely be picked by both parties. It would lead to the end for the Constitution.

This is a good thing. Maybe we can finally get rid of that pesky second amendment.
If not, I guess I*d settle for getting rid of the 19th amendment.

The last thing we need now is opening up the Constitution with stupid people in charge. If you want to amend the Constitution then come up with an amendment and let that go through the procedure of being approved by the States. The last amendment that was tried I believe was the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment ) and it failed because it gave women special rights. Right now outsiders like Soros and WEF are doing everything to make global communism. Shouldn't the focus be on destroying those people and removing what power they wield? Do not mess with the Constitution right now because it will become a bloody protracted conflagration. That's what the global communists want.

A rep from the organization pushing this called me and now I have some digging I need to do into Article V of The Constitution. He insists that a Convention of The States is not a Constitutional Convention and that it does not open the whole thing up for negotiations. He didn't know how the delegate(s) get chosen but he said he'd look into it. He indicated that if this panned out, it would take like 15 years but if nothing else, movement on it should get the attention of TPTB.

It sounds like you are more knowledgeable than the rep!

And a pretty one, at that.
