California Governor Gavin Newsom has long been outspoken on gun violence and the need for more common-sense gun reform. And early last month, he backed up his words with action: specifically, he proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to limit the reach and scope of the Second Amendment.

The amendment will be tough, if not impossible, to pass. That’s because two-thirds of both houses of Congress have to agree on the language, then three-fourths of states have to agree on the same thing.
