Of course you realize that the American public isn't on your side, (or you don't realize it).

Let's see, you would need to convince the Congress to call for a Constitutional Convention, then convince 2/3rd's of the Congress to vote for a repeal or to amend the 2A, then, if by some miracle, you did manage to get that, then it would be presented to the states for ratification, of which you will need 3/4th's to ratify it.
Do you understand what I'm saying here?
It would take only 13 states to deep six any change to the BoR.
Think you've got the votes?

Here are a list of 13 states who would vote no:

Arizona (My state)
Alabama
Colorado
Florida
Georgia
Idaho
Iowa
Kansas
Missouri
Montana
Nevada
New Hampshire
Oregon

There are many, many more that would vote no.
Hey, but if that's the way you roll, good luck.

Giving Gun Worshipers another Amendment to further Sanctify their Religion is not an step forward. stone space Oct 2015 #3

Neither is your course toward cultural purity. n/t discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2015 #4

Wow! GGJohn Oct 2015 #13

"Religion?" I don't think you'd like my holy water. Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #29

I'm an atheist. I don't want your religion forced on me. (nt) stone space Oct 2015 #36

Oh, no force necessary. At my age, it flows freely! Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #37

You spend a lot time trying to force your views on the rest of us Lurks Often Oct 2015 #40

Almost like Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #42

By all means, get off the couch and get started DonP Oct 2015 #5

It's the OP asking for a new Amendment. Suggest you take it up with him. stone space Oct 2015 #7

So, as usual, sit on your hands instead of standing up for what you believe in DonP Oct 2015 #8

He sure likes that public funding Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #21

The word you're searching for: "Indolent." nt Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #30

Indolent, lazy, cheap, ineffectual, they all work. n/t DonP Oct 2015 #43

You're the one who want's to repeal the 2A, GGJohn Oct 2015 #14

What fantasy land do you live where that is remotely possible? Lurks Often Oct 2015 #10

He says he lives in the real world Duckhunter935 Oct 2015 #22

Just because he says it, certainly doesn't make it true. Lurks Often Oct 2015 #24

Bugs you, huh? (nt) stone space Oct 2015 #34

You're welcome and thanks for the thoughtful reply discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2015 #9

No, because I don't think that structure would do any good petronius Oct 2015 #11

The criteria would be being found guilty of crime... discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2015 #15

I am against UBCs without real compromise. Kang Colby Oct 2015 #16

Sounds great but one question discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2015 #17

"E" is just too inflamatory for gun control people. It makes them crazy. DonP Oct 2015 #19

Its because 'E' has three barrels... beevul Oct 2015 #26

Sounds like my experience with describing Chicago gun laws as Jim (large, raucous black bird). Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #32

Edited. See Don P's post for an explanation. Kang Colby Oct 2015 #47

good work n/t discntnt_irny_srcsm Oct 2015 #50

Concur with petronius and kang colby, edgineered Oct 2015 #18

This is a reasonable proposal for this gun owner...Controllers? Not so much. Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #27

Why? They make progress on gun control, specifically background checks Kang Colby Oct 2015 #48

I am skeptical because much of the rhetoric here and elsewhere is characterized... Eleanors38 Oct 2015 #49

Hmmm... deathrind Oct 2015 #28
