Unwitting or not, do I want them deciding on constitutional amendments? Ceding power to the governing authority is what the 2nd amendment is specifically designed to prevent.

tool: A device or implement, esp. one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular function.

Its not the tool that is the issue- it is the person utilizing it. Do you let your nutty uncle set off the fireworks on the porch? Permit your drunk friend to drive home? If so, please attend to the first definition. Personal responsibility and instilling responsibility as part of a civilized society is the key issue.
um..... the process for passing amendments is outlined in this thread.
It's not a simple majority.
You can read more about it in Article 5.

Ceding power?? What power?? We have collectively ceded power to the Federal government many years ago. You will not restore power to the people (or the states) with a Bushmaster...

Personal responsibility.... sounds great, but it will never catch on with the asshats...
