Gov. Gavin Newsom called for a 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would ban assault weapons, among other gun control measures.
Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday called for a U.S. constitutional amendment on gun control that would ban assault weapons and mandate background checks and waiting periods for purchasing firearms, a longshot proposal with little chance of passing in a nation deeply divided on the issue.
For Newsom’s proposed 28th Amendment to be considered, legislatures in two-thirds of the states must vote in favor of a constitutional convention. Republicans currently control, some of which have recently taken action to reduce gun restrictions, indicating that there is little chance of that happening.
However, Newsom’s announcement is likely to be popular among national Democrats and in California, which has some of the toughest gun control restrictions in the nation. It could further the liberal governor’s efforts to expand his political influence on some of the most pivotal and controversial issues facing the country.
