Here we go: Newsom publicly proposes 2A Constitutional Amendment

[BigMac90660]

Some Republican in a red state needs to push for a Constitutional amendment clarifying for the idiots that don not know how to read, comprehend, or understand history, that the 2nd is an individual right, an not a collective/militia right.

[Rickybillegas]

Isn't it 2/3 majority + 1 to pass muster? I suspect he's simply marketing for presidential run on the state's dime.

(2/3) 34 states required to agree to a convention, and (3/4) 38 states required to pass any amendments.

In other words, his wonderful 28th amendment has 0.0001% chance of passing anything.

It's nothing more than, "Lookie! Lookie! I'm trying to do something about them evil gunz, but them evil gun ownerz won't let me! Vote for me! Vote for me!"

[Big Chudungus]

can't remember if it was Roger Stone, Mark Levine both or other that said Be Very Wary of CC, because once a CC kicks off it can go in any direction.

You can't get a CC going for only one item or agenda.

Given 2020 election and current admin that will have the muscle, what would stop a CC from being completely hijacked and bogus result shoved down our throats or up our *** more like it.

Constitution itself was illegally self boot strapped and probably wouldn't have passed under original Articles, it was only when majority of States ILLEGALLY began to operate under it and basically threatened the legal holdouts with not so vague threats of blockades and other acts of war.

Obviously nothing directly after Civil War was legit because of ongoing military occupation (ditto with all "elections" in Iraq and Afghanistan during US occupation, as well as any new governments created after WW2 under military occupation).

Supposedly some Amend was never legally ratified, just announced and installed but can't remember which.

Thanks. Age and mad cow- I still got "close"!

What an idiot. He just killed his presidential chances for nothing. There's no way that amendment will pass, it needs 38 states to vote yes.

That's the thing. Newsome IS literally an idiot. The man is a moron.

And possibly one that WAS LEGALLY RATIFIED but never put into action due to some societal upheaval.

FGN!

Well put.

[Strafer]

Our local chapter of CRPA calls in to the various committees in order to oppose anti-2A legislation. Senate Resolution 7 (SR7 - the one about the 28th amendment) is slated to be heard today at 130PDT. Anyone can call in to voice their opposition. I'm told it's the only thing on the agenda so call in promptly at 130.

We usually say we are a concerned citizen in opposition to the measure/law/proposal. They usually don't let anyone talk beyond saying name, affiliation, and "for" or "against".


Call-in #: 877-226-8163
Access code: 1618051

To get in queue - you press 1 then 0. You will then be assigned a line number. When they ask for who opposes, the operator will open the line numbers one at a time so each person can speak.

Welp, the committee passed it. Still no exact language yet. This is what they want it to do, though:

“ a) Affirm that federal, state, and local governments may adopt public safety regulations limiting aspects of firearms acquisition, possession, public carry, and use by individuals, and that such regulations are consistent with the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and the understanding that throughout American history private individuals have possessed firearms for home defense, hunting, and recreational purposes;

b) Impose, as a matter of national policy, the following firearms regulations and prohibitions: (1) universal background checks as a prerequisite to purchase or acquisition of a firearm, (2) a prohibition on sales, loans, or other transfers of firearms to those under 21 years of age, subject to limited exceptions, (3) a minimum waiting period after the purchase or acquisition of a firearm before that firearm may be delivered to the buyer or acquirer, and (4) a prohibition on the private possession of assault weapons and other weapons of war;”

While there are obviously a ton of problems with the above, one I am particularly concerned about is “other weapons of war”. There are a number of countries in the world that have outlawed any guns that shoot .308 or 9mm using similar language. So, no Remington 700s in .308, no p320s, etc etc. And, I think it has the potential to be interpreted much more broadly than that.

No bow and arrows- weapon of war
No blades or swords - weapon of war
Club - weapon of war

There goes my M1 Garands and 1911A1

I can go on, but what good is it

[AlmostHeaven]

Every single gun in existence qualifies as a weapon of war, just like how every book and every article offends somebody these days. To prohibit weapons of war is to nullify the Second Amendment entirely, like how hate speech laws render the First Amendment useless.
