California governor Gavin Newsom on Thursday announced a novel push for a constitutional amendment that would impose federal restrictions on gun ownership and ban assault weapons.
with Politico, referring to the daily drumbeat of gun violence in America. “And the biggest and most insane thing we can do is the same old BS and just point fingers. So let’s give this a shot.”
To be clear, it's extremely unlikely the proposed 28th amendment— which would raise the minimum purchasing age to 21, impose universal background checks and waiting periods, and prohibit the sale of assault weapons— will come to fruition, even as the country suffers awave of mass gun violence this year. As Soboroff notes, it would require two-thirds of states to pass the amendment to trigger a constitutional convention, and three-quarters of states would need to approve it to enact it.
, in addition to the everyday violence, accidents, and suicides that roil communities across the country. While Presidentlast year signed the most substantial gun safety bill in decades last year, federal reform has been limited by Republicans. Blue states like California, Illinois, and New York have worked to strengthen their regulations.
While getting even half of America’s states on board for the proposal will be an uphill battle, it will at least be a new rallying point for the gun control movement. “We cannot stand idly while courts roll back our work and diminish the ability of our Legislature to keep Californians safe,” Assemblymember, who is spearheading the amendment with Wahab, said in a statement.
