It seems the drumbeat is on again... well good luck. Lol
STEP 1: PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT
Either Congress or the states can propose an amendment to the Constitution.
STEP 2. RATIFYING AN AMENDMENT
- Both houses of Congress must propose the amendment with a two-thirds vote. This is how all current amendments have been offered.
- Two-thirds of the state legislatures must call on Congress to hold a constitutional convention.
Regardless of how the amendment is proposed, it must be ratified by the States.
- Three-fourths of the state legislatures must approve of the amendment proposed by Congress, or
- Three-fourths of the states must approve the amendment via ratifying conventions. This method has only been used once, to repeal Prohibition with the 21st Amendment.
...then the Federal government STILL has no Constitutional authority to regulate, restrict, or ban guns.
You have to then pass a new amendment (or replace the text of the 2nd with new text) saying that Congress can now restrict or take away the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
Good luck with that one, too.
