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.

Getting time to not be peaceful any more..
Great. Don’t let him into the White House.
That is the ONE thing they want to change. That is the ONE thing we cannot let them change. This is why we shouldn’t have a convention of states. The 2nd would be the first thing out the window.
So he supports the Article V Convention of States.
Good to know.
Guys like Newsome are what scares me about an article 5.
With more than half the states now with constitutional carry, this is a good campaign ploy but DOA. On positive note, it is the only legit method of addressing gun control.
I think it’d be unconstitutional to get rid of any of the bill of rights.
It’s like a paradox or infinite regress.

If they want a war, this is how you get a war. My money’s on us.
It won’t fly. Too many states have passed more lax carry laws and are working towards less gun control. They’ll never agree to it.
And Newsome just destroyed any chance he has of getting elected as president.
Unless the democrat vote fraud machine is ramped way up.
Even then, the people will never abide by it.
Well, that’s could be a positive, if the Left now acknowledges that without a Constitutional amendment they may not infringe the right to keep and bear arms. Unfortunately, the Left has been doing just that without benefit of any amendment. But for some Constitutionalist Justices, they already would have succeeded in surreptitiously revoking the Second Amendment.
The Stalin/Mao proposal. We take your guns. Then we slaughter you and all our other enemies, political or otherwise.
As much as he implies he doesn’t want any higher office, his actions sure imply differently.
Any amendment that is in conflit with the Constitution is null and void.
