This is what our enemies are up to.
Unlikely to happen, but in today's world you never know where this will lead.
California has become the first state to call for a Constitutional Convention for gun safety. The Right to Safety Amendment would ensure the people’s elected representatives can determine what gun safety laws are appropriate for their communities and enshrine fundamental, broadly supported gun safety measures into law, including:
• Raising the minimum age to buy a gun from 18 to 21 • Mandating universal background checks, instituting a waiting period for all gun purchases, and • Banning the sale of assault weapons and other weapons of war to civilians.
Triggering the convention will require 33 other state legislatures to pass a similar resolution.
The most amazing thing is that a person would believe that their elected officials could determine what is appropriate.

“Other weapons of war”.
How encompassing that little tidbit can be.

This was announced a couple of months ago, but I could not find anything on the forum about it.

You need two thirds of the state's legislatures to call for a CC, that's 34.
Any new amendments require three quarters of the state's approval, that's 38.
Good luck getting that many state's to simply agree to give up their rights as they are currently protected.
There are reasons our Constitution continues to hold fast, and why fu-cking liberals hate it to death, it is extremely difficult to change.

In the Spirit of 76- - - - the rest of the country should call for a second American Revolution. Once the current corrupt regime is swept out with the trash, then we can have another Constitutional Convention. The Ship of State has too many holes in to to stay afloat- - - -scuttle the thing, lay a new keel, and start over.
Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid is forever!

You can't legislate away a right. You can't add an amendment to negate another.
There is a process to change the Constitution. Its in the Constitution

That was announced back in September, it was just a grandstand play for Newsom to add a page to his job resume for replacing Joe. Nobody takes it seriously, he is always doing meaningless things to puff up his liberal credentials. I think there was a 5 bleeders Meskin shootout in Pasadena the week before, stats say Pasadena is about 65% Latino, surprise. Change the constitution.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Again, . Marxists not playing by the rules. Look up the 18th and 21st amendments for a counterexample to your statement.

Yes. You both should. The 18th was repealed by Constitutional process ( see section 1) Amd. 21 documents that process.
Vastly different than what Golden Boy is pushing.

No it did not.
They are not nullifying the Second. They want to give regulatory control of the Second over to (some cases) unelected bureaucrats.
