@idahodom1@brian_lenney Anyone who thinks that a Convention of States aimed at federal spending, federal term limits and federal overreach will somehow jeopardize 2A rights has no understanding of the Article V process.
The federal government works very hard to enhance federal power over time. That is obvious. They do so by pushing the limits of the Constitution. Rita is absolutely correct that we need new amendments to restrict the on-going power grabs by the federal government and limit their power. Just as our founders intended.
@COSProject Historical precedent is key to how all areas of the Constitution are applied to everyday life. This applies to Article V as well, and it means that the States will control who are the delegates and what are the topics discussed at a Convention of States.
@COSProject The Constitution empowers the states to limit and control what is discussed at a Convention of States. The Federal government has no power to interfere.
Convention of States is a great fit for @elonmusk . Take a close look Elon. Also, you can safely ignore the ChickenLittles claiming that a convention of states would change the Constitution. This is completely false. A convention of states would propose amendments, which would be restricted to term limits, fiscal responsibility and limiting federal government power.
It's amazing how people reply to Mark's suggestion and express their concern that the Constitution would be altered by a Convention of States as outlined in Article V. This is false. A Convention of States would have no power to alter the current Constitution in any way. It can only propose amendments to the Constitution, which must then be approved by three-fourths of the State's legislatures to ever be added to the Constitution.
Despite continued growth of the national debt and federal government overreach, JBS continues to align with far Left organizations to fight against legitimate use of the Constitution (Article V) to partially restore state and local powers. Convention of States is the best solution available to rein in excessive Federal government power.
A Convention of States is the only practical way to curtail ever-expanding federal power. The fear mongers saying that a Convention of States would have no limits are either ignorant or liars. Anyone looking at the COS legislation in the states where it has passed would quickly see that.
