CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE PREPARES FOR WAR

The anti-gun California legislature, already burdened in past years with court defeats over their attempt to run all guns out of the state, are seizing on current events to bolster their sinister agendas.  Some of these proposals for 2013 are ludicrous:  

Being readied:

AB 48, would require reporting of ammunition sales, licensing of ammunition dealers and other controls of ammunition, similar to firearms. This bill would also expand the definition of large capacity magazine to include any readily restorable or disassembled magazine that appears to hold more than ten rounds, and would require notification to local law enforcement if an individual buys anything more than a small amount of ammunition in a five-day period.

AB 169, would prohibit members of the general public from transferring any handgun that is not on, or drops off of, the state’s roster of approved handgun, to anyone other than a family member or spouse.

AB 174, would remove the grandfather clause on existing firearms that are currently illegal to purchase, but are legal to possess if they were owned prior to making the firearm illegal. 

AB 187,  would impose an additional tax on the sale of ammunition. 

These anti-gun bills are expected to be introduced soon:

• ·         A bill that would prohibit a person who illegally sells or buys firearms or ammunition from owning a gun for ten years.
• ·         A bill mandating firearm storage; in other words, requiring you to lock up your guns at all times
• ·         Two more bills placing an additional tax on the purchase of ammunition and require companies who manufacture, sell, distribute or market firearms or ammunition to divest investment funds from the State and would prohibit those companies from future investments.

Already in the hopper:

SB 47 ,would expand the prohibitions on the sale and possession of “assault weapons” to include hundreds of firearms currently lawful for sale in California.

SB 53, would require ammunition purchasers to obtain a permit and pay an annual fee (tax).  This bill will also ban online and mail order sales of all ammunition, and require registration and thumb printing for all ammunition purchases.

SB 108 ,would require a firearm to be placed in a locked container or otherwise be disassembled each time the owner leaves his or her property.  

AJR 5, would urge the President and Congress to support and pass Senator Feinstein’s proposed legislation prohibiting the sale, transfer, importation, and manufacturing of assault weapons, and large-capacity magazines.

HR 1, would be a standing rule of the Assembly, which would state, a person, except a peace officer acting within the scope of his or her employment, may not carry or possess a firearm on the floor of the Assembly during any session of the Assembly or in a committee hearing room during any meeting of a committee or subcommittee. 

I hope the last one passes with flying colors, because then every loon who wants a good place to shoot it up without anyone being there to shoot back will know exactly where to go. 

It’s time for California gun owners to march en masse on the state capitol. 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
