Contributing sentiments towards policy:
58% : The Democratic governor's proposed 28th Amendment would not abolish the Second Amendment, which establishes a right to bear firearms for personal self-defense.57% : With Republicans in control of the House and a 51-49 Democratic majority in the Senate, there is virtually no chance a constitutional amendment restricting gun rights will have enough support to pass through Congress.
54% : However, it would raise the federal minimum age to purchase a firearm from 18 to 21; mandate universal background checks to purchase firearms; institute a waiting period for all gun purchases; and ban "assault weapons."
50% : California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to change the Constitution to curb gun rights.
49% :Newsom's proposal comes after federal courts have delivered a series of victories for gun rights activists, led by the Supreme Court's landmark decision last year striking down a century-old New York law that made it difficult to obtain a license to carry a concealed handgun.
45% :Fed up with inaction on gun control, Newsom unveiled a proposed 28th Amendment to the Constitution on Thursday that would implement "common sense" gun safety measures he claims have widespread bipartisan support.
