California's governor outlines a plan fueled by money left over from his recent reelection.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Gavin Newsom is seeking an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would restrict gun ownership — a daunting and likely quixotic response to the deadliest wave of mass shootings in U.S. history that would nonetheless position California as the most aggressive state in the union on gun control.
The Democratic governor’s proposal would raise the federal minimum age to buy a firearm to 21 from 18; mandate universal background checks; institute a “reasonable” waiting period for all gun purchases and ban assault rifles nationally. “This initiative will literally be a catalyst for other states to follow,” said Wahab, chair of the state Senate’s public safety committee and herself a victim of gun violence.
