On April 24, 2024, the Orange County Register’s editor table mocked Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ( D) failed push for a gun control amendment to the United States Constitution.
According to a report from Breitbart News on June 8, 2023, Newsom  proposed a constitutional amendment that he hoped would secure and use to enact a gun-control ban.
The Associated Press , reported , that Newsom’s amendment, which would be the twenty- ninth amendment, would boycott firearms which Democrats label “assault weapons”, require a minimum age of 21 to obtain firearms, apply universal background checks, and mandate a waiting period for gun purchases.
Newsom’s office released a statement regarding the proposed weapons controls, which did not specify a waiting period for the order of firearms. Instead, it simply claimed the time may be “reasonable”.
On August 16, 2023, Breitbart News noted that California , Assembly member Reggie Jones- Sawyer ( D) and Sen. Aisha Wahab ( D) put forward a joint resolution calling for the convocation of a constitutional convention to adopt Newsom’s amendment.
Just two-thirds of the other states were required to follow suit in the quality put forth by Jones- Sawyer and Wahab, which called for a protocol.
The editorial board of the Orange County Register pointed out on Wednesday that the California Democrats are also waiting for a lot more than one state to join their agreement drive.
The committee cited a report from John Woolfolk of the Bay Area News Group, who claimed that Democrats ruled the says ‘ legislatures in addition to California, but none of them had joined the campaign for a gun control ban.
They acknowledged that Newsom’s article had no real opportunity from the beginning. Everyone at the moment thought it was Newsom’s most recent effort to position himself for the White House, but it was all a little too much for it.
The committee noted that Cody J. Wisniewski, a democratic lawyer, explained why he thought the amendment would be a dud when Newsom introduced it to the board:
Given only 10 states and Washington D. C. have any type of restrictions on so- called’ abuse weapons’ or any kind of waiting period, while 27 states have enacted some iteration of free/constitutional/permitless carry, it is obvious that there is n’t now little appetite for Newsom’s special brand of gun control across the country.
Since Wisconsiniewski first criticized Newsom’s gun control amendment in June 2023, two more states have adopted constitutional carry, bringing the total number of state with permitless carry to 29. Louisiana and South Carolina are the other two.
