Already emailed him but will call his office Monday if I get the chance. I have classes all day and not sure if I will be able to do so during my break. If not then I will do so Tuesday.

We all need to contact the governor. There are several thousand members on this site and it would be hard to believe that we won't make an impact if even just the majority of us started pestering the governor's office. I urge everyone to do their part.

At this point, anyone who votes Democrat is voting FOR gun control. This is a fact, look how the Dems vote on these issues.


I vote based on a candidate's clear stance on Gun Control. Period. And I don't apologize to anyone for that. Screw the other issues. I'm keeping my guns first, then worrying about whatever else.

We are screwed if this bill becomes law. This will increase the time and expense of obtaining ammunition immensely. We have all got to put in an extra effort to defeat this.

If the governor does not veto, when exactly would this bill become law?

I'm in total agreement.

I once swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

And not long after I swore as such that I would do exactly that, I was issued a full automatic rifle, compliments of the U.S. Government.

They apparently thought it would come in handy whislt defending the Constitution.

I still feel that way about guns.

Yup. Gun rights and the Democratic party do not mix. Anybody who votes for the Democrats is voting for gun control. PERIOD.

Please don't let such thinking muddle your choice if Jerry Brown is running for governor. He appears to be a friend of the Second Amendment.

Now maybe there is going to be some dream (republican) candidate that comes along that trumps him, but I wouldn't count on it.

How many members are there on CalGuns.

What if we sent a massive amount of letters to Arnie via Fed-Ex, and did it so they would all be delivered on the same day?

Less than $20 for an overnight afternoon deliver I think.
2500 to 3000 or more Fed-Ex packages coming through the door of the State House all at once might make a statement. Of course, Arnie's office is not going to get them until they've cleared security, if ever, but what the hell?

Bad idea, good idea, stupid? What.

I just notified everyone I know and provided them with the means to contact the governor's office. These bills have to be shot down.

On the surface of things, Brown doesn't seem these days to be as bad as some other Dems on gun control.
But what he is most a friend of is getting elected, and he won't if he comes straight out as a friend of the Second Amendment. He'll appear to be something else pretty quick if he gets a whiff of defeat, whatever the reason.

His Republican opponent would have to have one butt-ugly stance on gun control before I would vote for Brown though. I don't trust him. I know there are learned individuals here on CG that think he's the best chance we've got.

If that's true, it only serves to further demonstrate how screwed we are.

I don't think it's a democrat or republican thing, i think we have some dumb-*** politicians in office "representing" us at the cost of our rights. I've long know Republicans to be the offending party, now democrats have joined the list of people who ,in my opinion, don't give a crap about people like me.

I ain't a Democrat or Republican. I see them both equally as one of the problems with CA, let alone America.

True. In my opinion, Arnold should be forcefully removed from the Republican party to eliminate this dilemma, due to all the various anti-RKBA and socialist legislation he has signed.

Email sent to Arnold. Calls will commence next week.

For simplicity sake, this link will take you directly to Arnolds webmail page:
http://www.govmail.ca.gov

Be sure to ask for his support in vetoing AB962!

Seems like the biggest problem us gunnies have is that a politician who declares that he or she is a friend of the Second Amendment can no longer get elected to office.

So we're slowly losing out rights.

SOB. I can't say I'm actually surprised this passed.

As long as people/"representatives" are willing to give up essential rights and liberties for supposed "security", we are all going to be in a lot of trouble. We need to elect people with some big balls in order to get things turned around, fat chance that will happen, though.

While I will try my best to persuade our gracious RINO, I mean, governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, not to sign the bill in my next letter/phone call, I wouldn't hold my breath for a second. His past history tells me this is going to be another nail in the coffin.

State Senator Gill Cedillo who, as seen above, voted YES to curtail the 1st Amendment rights of U.S. citizens who live in California, is known as "One Bill Gill" due to his unrelenting push for a law to issue official California drivers licenses to illegal aliens.

State bills passed become law on January 1st of the following year, unless otherwise specified on the bill. Mid-year bills usually become law on July 1st of that year, otherwise (such as last year's "no cell phones while driving" law).

I'm not sure about Federal laws. They seem to start whenever the hell it strikes the fancy of Congress.
