Newsom proposes 28th Amendment to curb gun violence.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has proposed a 28th Amendment to the US Constitution that would restrict gun ownership, including raising the minimum age to buy a firearm from 18 to 21, mandating universal background checks, imposing a waiting period on gun purchases, and banning civilians from buying assault weapons. Newsom argues that a constitutional amendment is necessary due to a sharp rise in mass shootings in the United States and frustration with gun laws being rolled back by federal courts. However, Republicans, who control more than half of state legislatures, are unlikely to support the move.
