The governor of California, Democrat Gavin Newsom, is working to create for himself a national profile by proposing a 28th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Specifically, this would be a new amendment that would limit the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

He has laid out the four points that will be in this particular amendment, which include raising the federal minimum age to buy a gun from 18 to 21; mandating universal background checks; implementing a waiting period for all gun purchases; and barring all American civilians from purchasing “assault weapons” that “serve no other purpose than to kill as many people as possible in a short amount of time.”
