After proposing an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to harden federal gun laws, Gov. Gavin Newsom sparred on social media with prominent Republicans who unloaded on his idea.
Newsom, a fierce advocate of gun control, said his proposed 28th Amendment has four prongs: It would institute what he called a "reasonable" waiting period for all gun purchases, ban so-called assault rifles throughout the country, require universal background checks and raise the minimum age to buy a firearm to 21.
To which Newsom promptly replied, "Hey Kevin, What we need is you to own up to the fact that you represent a district with the highest murder rate in our state -- and you’re doing nothing to address it." "Can’t wait for you to defend the fact that Mississippi has the highest gun violence death rate in the nation…. ," replied Newsom. "You can’t be serious."
There have been 26 mass killing incidents nationally so far this year, the most in any year so far during the period for which data has been compiled. Those incidents left 131 people dead.
