Commiefornia Gov. Gavin Newsom's proposed gun constitutional amendment is going nowhere among other blue (Democrat) states.
This is not too surprising since this year is an election year and the Democrats (at least the ones with some sense) don't want pro-Second Amendment people panicked enough to go to the polls in November.
According to the Mercury News:
Recent ads from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s political action committee continue to push his effort to shake up the national gun debate with a constitutional amendment that would nationalize key California firearm restrictions.
“If Congress and the courts will not take action to help make our communities safer from gun violence, then we — the people — must do it ourselves,” say the ads on social media from Newsom’s Campaign for Democracy.
The California Legislature in September approved a resolution in support, and Newsom said 33 other states must do likewise to call a constitutional convention and consider the amendment. But even among the 18 other U.S. states with legislatures led by Newsom’s Democratic Party, none has done so.
Political observers aren’t surprised, noting the nation’s political landscape, amendment rules and the risks that could come with Newsom’s proposed path of calling a constitutional convention.
