The US Constitution is frequently referred to as a “living document” since politicians are free to alter it whenever they see fit.

The Constitution has been altered 27 times by lawmakers over the course of American history. Since the ratification of the 27th Amendment in 1992, that has not occurred.

It’s important to note the 202-year wait was really shorter than usual because the process of ratification for that amendment had, in fact, begun earlier.

The liberal governor of California now seeks to modify the Constitution once more, but it’s unlikely that his idea will make gun rights advocates very happy.

Governor Gavin Newsom declared on June 8 that he put forth a 28th Amendment to the Constitution.

Based on an announcement, the plan would codify restrictions on guns that have gained the backing of individuals from all political parties.

These safety rules include a ban on assault weapons, a requirement to wait before purchasing a firearm, background checks for all buyers, and a 21-year-old purchase minimum.

According to Newsom, the US has the potential to “create an even better community” since it is “basically inscribed into our Constitution.”

He claimed he was putting out the amendment as a result, taking care to keep the Second Amendment unaltered. Newsom then claimed he wanted to honor custom.

Along with California, 33 additional states would need to call a convention and introduce the 28th Amendment in order for it to be passed.

Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America Erich Pratt told Fox News in an interview that advocates have long expressed concern about the “abolition of the Second Amendment.”

He claimed Gov. Newsom’s plan explicitly acknowledges his desire to carry it out. Pratt continued by saying that his group would keep working to “protect and restore” all Americans’ access to firearms.
