NRA responds to Newsom's calls for a 28th amendment: 'California is a beacon for violence'
Fox News
The NRA torched California Gov. Gavin Newsom's proposal for a 28th amendment to the U.S. Constitution to ban civilian assault rifle purchases.
"Newsom’s latest publicly stunt once again shows that his unhinged contempt for the right to self-defense has no bounds," the NRA said in a statement to Fox News. "California is a beacon for violence because of Newsom’s embrace of policies that champion the criminal and penalize the law-abiding. That is why the majority of Americans rightfully reject his California-style gun control." Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

Newsom's office, in announcing the amendment, claimed that it would not keep Second Amendment rights "unchanged," and that it would regulate weapons while "respecting America’s gun-owning tradition[.]"
