The proposed 28th Amendment, introduced by Governor Gavin Newsom, aims to enshrine federal gun safety measures into the U.S. Constitution. Key provisions include raising the firearm purchase age to 21, mandating universal background checks, instituting waiting periods, and banning civilian 'assault weapons.'

How can a new amendment be proposed to the U.S. Constitution?
