The Second Amendment has the added catch that half the country is armed to the teeth and has promised to bathe the country in blood if anyone even tries to touch it... and that half would need to agree to allow a constitutional convention to begin with, which they never, ever will.

So it doesn't even matter how many Americans support it or don't, we literally just have to accept it either way at the point of a gun.

If it's the half of the country then it's a moot point, since you need a two thirds majority to pass a constitutional amendment anyway.
