Jason -
As early as this week, the California legislature will vote on a resolution calling for a Constitutional Amendment to make our communities safer from gun violence.
Before they do, I want you to send a message to the California legislators who are going to cast a historic vote, and legislators we'll need all across the country to get this done.
This is a small and simple act, but it will speak VOLUMES about the desire in communities across the country for a Constitutional Amendment on guns.
The Right to Safety Constitutional Amendment will:
- Raise the federal minimum age to buy a firearm from 18 to 21.
- Mandate universal background checks.
- Institute a reasonable waiting period for all gun purchases.
- Ban civilian purchase of assault weapons.
And here is my pledge to you: If and when this passes in California, I will put significant resources behind getting it introduced and passed in other states.
Will finding 33 more states calling to amend the Constitution be easy? No, of course not, I am clear-eyed about that.
But it has to start somewhere. And it will... in California. But first:
If Congress and the courts will not take action to help make our communities safer from gun violence, then we — the people — must do it ourselves.
Thank you for making your voice heard,
Gavin Newsom
