    Democrats are the most violent of any political party in this country. They account for the majority of gun homicides and violent crimes in general. We don't need them telling us how to end it.

    Governor Newsom Proposes Historic 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution to End America’s Gun Violence Crisis
    Published: Jun 08, 2023

    Principles of proposed 28th Amendment broadly supported by the American public and gun owners

    SACRAMENTO – Today Governor Gavin Newsom proposed a 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution to enshrine fundamental, broadly supported gun safety measures into law. While leaving the 2nd Amendment unchanged and respecting America’s gun-owning tradition, the Governor’s proposal guarantees common sense constitutional protections and gun safety measures that Democrats, Republicans, independent voters, and gun owners overwhelmingly support – including universal background checks, raising the firearm purchase age to 21, instituting a firearm purchase waiting period, and barring the civilian purchase of assault weapons.

    “Our ability to make a more perfect union is literally written into the Constitution,” said Governor Gavin Newsom. “So today, I’m proposing the 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution to do just that. The 28th Amendment will enshrine in the Constitution common sense gun safety measures that Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and gun owners overwhelmingly support – while leaving the 2nd Amendment unchanged and respecting America’s gun-owning tradition.”

    The 28th Amendment will permanently enshrine four broadly supported gun safety principles into the U.S. Constitution:

    • Raising the federal minimum age to purchase a firearm from 18 to 21;
    • Mandating universal background checks to prevent truly dangerous people from purchasing a gun that could be used in a crime;
    • Instituting a reasonable waiting period for all gun purchases; and
    • Barring civilian purchase of assault weapons that serve no other purpose than to kill as many people as possible in a short amount of time – weapons of war our nation’s founders never foresaw.
