IT'S OFFICIAL! 28th Amendment Submitted To EVISCERATE the 2nd Amendment

California Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed a 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which critics argue would effectively nullify the Second Amendment. The proposal includes raising the federal firearm purchase age to 21, mandating universal background checks, instituting waiting periods, and banning civilian 'assault weapons.' The amendment also seeks to affirm federal, state, and local governments' power to enact gun safety regulations. The process for amending the Constitution requires a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress or a convention called by two-thirds of states, followed by ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures. Expert analysis critiques the statistical basis for some proposals, particularly regarding age restrictions and the inclusion of suicides and gang violence in gun death data.

An Article V Convention is a mechanism for proposing constitutional amendments, initiated by state legislatures. California is currently leading efforts to call for such a convention to advance the proposed 28th Amendment, which would require 33 additional states to join the call for it to be convened.
