What evidence do you want/ think you need? I can get you anything you want, you just throw out that you want evidence. Give me specifics and I will get you what you want. Even though it will probably hurt your feels
It is pretty hard to get change in a blue state, you must know that. When you have 2 cities voting for the sake of an entire state, it sways the odds pretty good. But, when you have a state filled with people that "agree" with you then its pretty easy to get votes.

I am saying people like YOU are the problem for wanting to take away MY rights as an American citizen because you would feel "safer" if only criminals had guns. I have never vouched to take anyone else rights away as you have through this whole thread.

Almost all gun laws nowadays are aiming to get rid of "assault weapons" which is a false title
but they (rifles of any sort) only account for 3.5% of homicides nationally. (Per 2019 FBI Crime Stats)
Are these families that you bring up going to feel safer over 3%? No, they aren't. And, if we give up those, how long until they come back and take more away? Give them and inch, they will take a mile.
characterized by or holding false beliefs or judgments about external reality that are held despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, typically as a symptom of a mental condition
Even if they passed these laws, how many criminals do you know that follow them?

Did you not read the OP? That is a major point of this proposed amendment. I don't need to show you, and if I do you are being deliberately obtuse for absolutely no reason, the fact that the rhetoric by the Democrats for the last 3 years have been "assault weapon" bans.

I will let you do the math to add up everything.
I have a mental illness? That is what you are going with? I will ask you, how much safer are you going to feel when, less than 3.5% of the weapons that are used in homicides are banned?
What evidence do you have to support your claim?

You don't have to believe anything I say. Anyone who knows anything about the government and guns knows that they are doing everything in their power to take them away.
"The Democratic governor's proposed 28th Amendment would not abolish the Second Amendment, which establishes a right to bear firearms for personal self-defense and other lawful purposes. "
"With Republicans in control of the House and a 51-49 Democratic majority in the Senate, there is virtually no chance that a constitutional amendment restricting gun rights will have enough support to pass through Congress."
Instead, Newsom is calling for an Article V convention of states to convene and draft his proposed amendment. Two-thirds of the state legislatures must pass a resolution calling for such a convention before it can convene to consider an amendment to the Constitution. If such a convention adopts a proposed amendment, it then heads back to the state legislatures for ratification.
Three-fourths of the states must ratify a proposed amendment for it to be added to the Constitution — a rare and difficult feat that has only been accomplished 27 times in the nation's history.

Small anomalies in the data does not make the data flawed. I would bet every cent I will ever make that there is not enough of a difference in data that would make my statement on this false.
"Newsom's proposed amendment would also affirm that Congress, states and local governments can enact additional gun control measures. "
In simpleton terms "we will make more laws alter to keep restricting your rights" not that hard to understand
