Please Contact Your State Legislators Today!
When the California Legislature returns from recess next week, it will consider two serious threats to our Second Amendment freedoms and they must be defeated at all costs.

Assembly Bill 962 is currently awaiting action in the Senate. Sponsored by Assembly Member Kevin De Leon (D-45), AB962 would make it a crime to privately transfer more than 50 rounds of ammunition per month, even between family and friends, unless you are registered as a “handgun ammunition vendor” in the Department of Justice’s database. Ammunition retailers would have to be licensed and store ammunition in such a manner that it would be inaccessible to purchasers. The bill would also require that purchasers submit to fingerprinting, which would be kept in dealers' records and subject to inspection by the Department of Justice. Lastly, mail order ammunition sales would be prohibited.

Senate Bill 585 is awaiting consideration by the full Assembly. SB585, introduced by State Senator Mark Leno (D-3), would prohibit the sale of firearms and ammunition on the property or inside the buildings that comprise the Cow Palace. In short, SB585 is a stepping-stone to banning gun shows on all publicly-owned property in California.

It is imperative that you stand-up and respectfully make your voices heard loudly! Please contact your State Senator and respectfully urge them to oppose AB962. Also, please contact your Assemblymember and ask that they vote to defeat SB585.

See, this is what happens when the NRA forgets the bill numbers in the email subject line.

And they seemed to be doing so well for a while ...

The DEA raided the Cow Palace on Memorial Day weekend. Several people were arrested for selling marijuana, LSD, cocaine, speed and ecstasy on state owned property. Here is your damned crime problem. These canned music "raves" and lazer light shows are worse than the Grateful Dead's high flying concerts back in 1974-76. So ban them first!

I don't recall ever hearing a case of the BATFE busting into the Cow Palace and arresting several gun runners, who were trying to sell stolen and illegal firearms. So lets punish the tenents who don't violate the laws instead of the criminals that do. Sacramento has it's head up it's azz sideways...
