Editorial: Newsom gun amendment is a non-starter, but it still has value (barf alert)
LA Times ^ | 17 july 2023

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposed constitutional amendment on gun safety has two great things going for it. The first is that it aims to protect four popular and modest commonsense restrictions: a ban on assault weapons, mandated background checks on gun buyers, a waiting period before buyers can take possession, and a minimum purchasing age of 21.

All four requirements are already law in California, where they contribute to a gun death rate that’s about 37% lower than the national average.

All four are currently in peril as the U.S. Supreme Court continues to strike down reasonable gun laws. Under Newsom’s proposal, all four would become law nationwide.

And the second great thing about the would-be 28th Amendment? It has no chance of being adop

This will go on Newsom’s resume when he runs for President.

He’s running for POTUS in 2024.

Biden claims to be running but that’s only to not appear as a lame duck.

It could be Gavin doesn’t even campaign but is given the nomination by the Democrat party.

It doesn’t matter if California streets are filled with feces, crack pipes, derelicts and needles.

People will vote for him in droves so they can do all manner of interesting things with their genitals. I’m not trying to be funny because it’s true.

The usual rot, but it does recognize a problem with freedom loving Americans.

We wait for others to do our work for us and complain when communists, who are always on the offensive, win.

We need to develop a more proactive culture, starting at the local level.

Amending the Constitution is the ONLY legal path for those trying restrict RKBA.

I hope Newsom runs a very aggressive campaign against 2A. Even many dimocrats would be opposed to this.

I bought my first one when I was 7, and that was in California. Of course it was 1964.

It was edited to look like the Pedo symbol. Obvious intent to message Newsom’s favored constituency.

To ‘give the devil his due’, if they want to restrict guns, this is the only proper way to go about it, rather than court decisions or state laws.
