"California Governor Proposes 28th Amendment to Curb Gun Violence"

California Governor Gavin Newsom is seeking a 28th Amendment to the US Constitution that would restrict gun ownership, including raising the minimum age to buy a firearm to 21, instituting universal background checks, implementing a waiting period for all gun purchases, and banning assault rifles nationally. Newsom acknowledges the difficulty of creating such an amendment, but hopes to draw attention to the issue and build a movement for increased gun control. The effort would require support from 34 states to trigger a convention, making it a daunting task.
