Pity poor California Gov. Gavin Newsom. He’s trying so hard to remain relevant while tapping his foot, waiting for something unfortunate to happen to President Joe Biden. Newsom really wants to run for president, but until he doesn’t want to be seen as being in the same company with people like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
So he’s trying to say in the public eye and look presidential without actually campaigning. His latest pathetically transparent stunt proposing a 28th Amendment to the Constitution which would gut many of the rights protected by the terribly inconvenient Second Amendment.
Unfortunately, serious people aren’t taking Gov. HairGel, well, seriously. In fact, some like noted legal scholar and attorney Mark Smith believe that Newsom’s doomed proposal is a profound tactical error, galvanizing support for the Second Amendment among those who may have previously believed — laughably — the “we’re not coming for your guns” malarkey the Gun Control Industry™ has been trying to sell for decades.
On his government website, Newsom trumpets all of the support his effort has gotten to. There’s obviously no shortage of those willing to relieve Americans of any number of their enumerated civil rights. He also predictably categorizes those who are opposed to his brain fart as “Merchants of Death.”

ENDING GUN VIOLENCE IN AMERICA: What They Are Saying About Governor Newsom’s Historic 28th Amendment Proposal
Published:
SACRAMENTO – Survivors of gun violence, gun safety advocates, and faith, family, health, local, and state leaders are expressing early and enthusiastic support for Governor Gavin Newsom’s historic proposal to end America’s gun violence crisis through his proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Announced late last week, California seeks to become the first state in the nation to call for a Constitutional Convention on this subject with a joint resolution being introduced by California State Senator Aisha Wahab and Assemblymember Reggie Jones-Sawyer. Following passage in California, the Governor will work with grassroots supporters, elected and civic leaders, and broad and diverse coalitions across the nation to fight for the passage of similar resolutions in other state legislatures.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING

For those who want to read the deep thoughts of some of the power-hungry, would-be despots in the California Assembly, you can follow this link. Of course, they think the Governor’s proposal is the bee’s knees. Those pols, however, are protected by people carrying the very same guns they want to strip away from the little people, not only in their own state, but all across America.
