    The SCOTUS will be stacked before they do this, so what The Constitution actually "says" means nothing. They will just default back to that "hunting" and "well regulated militia" argument, then allow you a single shot break-open shotgun to hunt bunnies with... After you have cleared several backgrounds to include a "social" credit score check. THEN it will need to be properly permitted.

    Sooooo, if you need a 28A to ban assault weapons, that implies that we have the right to them currently, correct….
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

The most massively unconstitutional SCOTUS ruling regards "eminent domain" when they ruled it could be done for "private use" IF they demonstrated serious benefit to the public. So some people lost their generational homes because their attractive beachfront property was going to provide lots and lots of jobs when the casinos and hotels went up.

    It is to my recollection, the first time any ruling was in direct opposition to the specific wording of an amendment. Came in under Bush (43) at a time when the GOP had all the cards, the house, the senate and the presidency. I think they were too worried about gay marriage to notice.

    A 29th amendment would likely be a "game on" moment.

    The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, although many forms of slavery were already ended and new slaves had to be born of existing slaves. Congress passed an act to make it illegal for Americans to engage in the slave trade in 1800 and then in 1808 passed a law prohibiting the importation of slaves.

    As the 13th is not found in the Bill of Rights, in theory it would be easy to revoke or modify that amendment than any of the first 10. Of course in practice the opposite is true because few actually understand the constitution in any meaningful way. Lots of people think abortion is covered by freedom of speech or expression.
    Passage of a 28th Amendment outlined by Newsom would be a game on moment.

    In fact any Amendment ratified now, that negated any of the protections in the OG Bill of Rights, would be grounds for dissolution of the Union, by force if necessary. Leftist fools ignore this fact at their peril.

    And behind it all there's a price to be paid

    Need to have several new amendments eliminating exemptions from law based on occupation or office, public funding of personal security details, any special powers for privately funded personal security details, and any law, ordinance, rule, or whim becomes a full blown felony for anyone involved in the creation or execution of same.

    Exactly my thoughts. Let them try. They want to violate the social contract, they can reap the results.

    Social contact's been destroyed for a couple years now.

    And this is a big nothingburger that'll go nowhere, simple political grandstanding by one of the fiends. Not even worth discussing. But here I am...

    Given the nonsense with the xiden 'election win', obama winning two terms, I have serious doubts if there ever really was a legitimate election held in the past. Given the abhorrent nonsense going on with the trump indictments, and total ignorance of the Biden $5M Ukraine burisma bribes, the fbi being nothing but criminal pigs like the gestapo, etc etc etc, I would not be surprised if Pelosi's nephew, newsome, hasn't already been 'elected', or similar asswipe. The US .gov is no different from any third world shitholes; and the majority of the populace, as evidenced by the election of that cretin idiot, Fetterman, is composed of subnormal low IQ voters. The nation is royally phucked, and is on an irreparable downward spiral with no way out as far as I can tell.
