California Governor Proposes Controversial Gun Control Constitutional Amendment

The Liberal Gun Club, a left-leaning gun group, has criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom's proposed 28th Amendment to the Constitution, which aims to curb gun rights. The group called the proposal "offensive grandstanding" and said it was unlikely to pass. Newsom's amendment would increase the federal minimum age to buy a gun, mandate universal background checks, implement a waiting period for all gun purchases, and ban so-called "assault weapons." The proposal mirrors California's own gun control laws, which are among the strictest in the nation.
