Assembly Members De Leon, Bonnie Lowenthal, Paul Krekorian and Sandre Swanson held a press conference on CA gun violence and legislation on April 20th. The following is some of the news coverage that resulted:

Bill would require ammo sellers to be licensed, ban online sales

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

On the 10th anniversary of the deadly Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colo., California lawmakers announced new efforts Monday to keep guns and ammunition away from people who are barred from possessing those items.

Assemblyman Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, is backing a bill to require people who sell handgun ammunition to be licensed. It would also require sellers to conduct business face-to-face, bar Internet and mail-order sales, and require a thumbprint and other identifying information of people who buy ammo.
Such information would be given to state officials who could check it against the rolls of people barred from possessing ammunition. Sacramento enforces such limitations and the chief of police said Monday that 50 people have been arrested since the rules took effect in January 2008.

De Leon said the bill would close "dangerous loopholes" in California law. A similar bill that aimed to stop sales of ammunition to prohibited people died in the state Senate last year.

Another bill, introduced by Assemblyman Paul Krekorian, D-Burbank, would establish a new procedure for people who are barred from possessing guns to relinquish those weapons.

A Culture Soaked in Blood
By BOB HERBERT

In Palm Harbor, Fla., a 12-year-old boy named Jacob Larson came across a gun in the family home that, according to police, his parents had forgotten they had. Jacob shot himself in the head and is in a coma, police said. Authorities believe the shooting was accidental.

How the hell do you forget that you have a gun? Talk about irresponsible!

We’re confiscating shampoo from carry-on luggage at airports while at the same time handing out high-powered weaponry to criminals and psychotics at gun shows.

Remember folks, it doesn't just take the BC to pull these kinds of shenanigans when you also have the DHS backing them up by saying that gun owners & veterans are terrorists. Even after Nordyke, we still have an uphill in both directions...

I tried to sign up for the Brady newsletter on 4-20 in hopes of getting a nice email about Nordyke, but uncontrollable vomiting induced by their website cut my search short.

Well, I'm gonna email a few statistics to each of the email addresses every day and let them know the real truth about guns.

Don't sign up for their newsletter, you'll be added to their number of supporters.

Washington, DC – The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals today upheld Alameda County’s ordinance banning possession and sales of firearms on county-owned property, that was enacted to end gun shows on county fairgrounds.

“We are pleased that the court recognized that the Second Amendment does not prevent state and local governments from enacting common-sense gun laws,” said Paul Helmke, President of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

The decision in Nordyke v. King is the first federal appeals court decision deciding whether a gun law violates the Second Amendment since the U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down the District of Columbia’s handgun ban in District of Columbia v. Heller issued in June 2008.

doesn't look like the Brady campaign is too concerned with Nordyke. both sides has toted this as a win.

so the question is, who is the real winner?

Something uber-evil, if at all possible. Timing is everything.

I'm thinking if I can get names to go with the email addy list I'll sign them up for the NAMBLA newsletter or something equally fun.

Doesn't Brady have an FFL?

Imo it just shows that in their hearts gun confiscation is what they really want, and that we're all "criminals and psychotics".
