Gavin Newsom’s recent proposal for a 28th Amendment addressing gun control, has ignited a fierce debate among citizens, and of course, politicians. Newsom’s initiative is pushing for stricter gun control, and arguing that the 28th Amendment is necessary to address the alarming rates of gun violence in the United States. They emphasize the need for comprehensive background checks, closing loopholes in the current system, and limiting access to firearms for individuals with a history of violence or mental illness. Advocates contend that these measures would enhance public safety, reduce mass shootings, and prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands.

Opponents of the proposed 28th Amendment emphasize the importance of upholding the Second Amendment, which guarantees the right to bear arms. They argue that restricting gun ownership through constitutional amendments would infringe upon individual freedoms and undermine the principles of personal responsibility and self-defense. Critics contend that the focus should be on enforcing existing laws, improving mental health services, and addressing the root causes of violence, rather than placing additional burdens on law-abiding citizens.

The question for debate is, would you support a 28th amendment to the constitution addressing gun control?
