Gov. Gavin Newsom Officially Calls for Convention to Change US Constitution
The Western Journal (via MSN) ^ | 15 September 2023 | Richard Moorhead

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is eyeing a change to the United States Constitution. The state's legislature on Thursday approved a resolution in support of Newsom's call for a 28th Constitutional amendment, according to the Los Angeles Times. The amendment would enshrine a list of Democratic gun-control policy priorities into federal law.

California is requesting a Constitutional convention to enshrine the amendment. For the amendment to be considered, two-thirds of state legislatures would have to vote in favor of a convention, according to the Times. The proposed "Right to Safety Amendment" would limit legal gun ownership to adults 21 and older, enact universal federal background checks on gun sales, create a mandatory "reasonable waiting period" for gun purchases, and ban the purchase of many forms of semiautomatic rifles. Newsom started touting the idea behind the amendment earlier this summer.

What are the odds of this actually passing? There’s a reason we have made only 27 amendments in the history of our country, the first 10 of which were made at the same time as the Constitution. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride Gavin.

Zero. It's just virtue signaling.

There will be nothing in their way of banning White People forever.

Or minorities who don't go along to get along.

California never elected him. He cheated.

As a Californian I wish I could say this was true. But in a state where Rats outnumber Republicans 2-1 and even many of the "independent" voters are stealth Democrats, people like Newscum are a shoo-in.

Correct. The hatred for the ‘Rooftop Koreans’ is palpable amongst the commies.
