While there have been calls for an "Article V Convention" based on a single issue such as the balanced budget amendment, it is not clear whether a convention summoned in this way would be legally bound to limit discussion to a single issue.
so they call for this Article V Convention to settle the budget dispute. then they bring up the second amendment among others.
(every time there has been a call for a article V convention it has been defeated.)
