AMMO BILL- AB962-IS IN SUSPENSE FILE!

[1BigPea]

Don't stop the calls, faxes, letters, etc stop just because it's in suspense that could look bad. If we all keep up the strong push all the more reason to keep it there and let it die, we are probably getting on there nerves a bit! I hope.

An objection based on this restriction may be raised only while the bill is being considered by the house in which it is introduced.

A smart parliamentarian could easily construe this to mean that the objection cannot be raised in committee, but only on the floor.

Thats the real issue right there...how many times can De Leon re-introduce this in violation of the rules before someone calls him on it? Why have rules if they are not followed...and that is especially true when it comes from someone that helps create new rules.

NO!!! The REAL ISSUE is that they would love us to keep worrying about "the rules" instead of opposing their legislative schemes!

Once again, I will state this small, but important, fact about the California State Legislature: "THERE ARE NO RULES, EXCEPT FOR WHATEVER THE PEOPLE IN CONTROL SAY!"

"Both sides" cut deals and use "rule waivers" to do whatever they want, when it is convenient to do so. Our power and effectiveness comes from maintaining our focus on the legislation, not necessarily the legislative process.

Please continue to CONSTANTLY keep-up-the-pressure!

Thank you,

Assuming we can kill it for this year, how can we keep it from coming back next year? Last year De Leon re-introduced it in defiance of all the rules.

Don't elect Democrats?

BTW, Paul - if you or Ed or any of the California NRA contingent had any influence on recent NRAILA email about 962,

THANK YOU!

The subject lines have begun to include the bill number, and the number of duplicate postings of those emails has dropped significantly.

Isn't it sad that the BEST we can look forward to in CA is for a restriction to NOT get passed?



But still, I am grateful. Great work everyone, let's keep it up.

Well, we did try to get shall issue CCW this year. It never came out of committee, but at least the legislation was introduced.

And then there's the lawsuits slowly grinding through the courts. I'm looking forward to those.

But, seriously, until the California Republican party can find it's own *** with BOTH hands, the lunatic anti-gun Dems have no reason NOT to harass California gun owners.

We need to donate money at election times to those who stand hard against any Firearm Bills. I have donated to Senators that are from other then my district. We need to help keep them in office and appreciated. See Below!

Dear Mr. XXXXXXX:

Thank you for contacting me regarding Assembly Bill 962, which would limit the sale of handgun ammunition. I appreciate having the opportunity to respond to this issue.

Assembly Bill 962 would not be cost effective in terms of crime control and would create a hardship for retailers, especially smaller ones, and customers. Criminals have many ways of obtaining ammunition. This bill would not serve as any kind of crime deterrent, but would create another large and bureaucratic registration program that would be very costly and inefficient for law abiding citizens.

Assembly Bill 962 is just another bill that attacks lawful gun owners instead of stopping the criminals that commit gun violence. It is for this and other reasons that I oppose Assembly Bill 962.

Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to respond to your concerns.

Sincerely,



JEFF DENHAM
Senator, 12th District

with all the budget publicity we have what amounts to the best chance in decades to rid ca of the stain of the democratic party. you could feel the hate as they tried to slip arnold new taxes and fees. we may not have this opportunity again for a long time. we need to finish them off.

[mk19]

Good news for now, We need to get the FIRE THE LEGISLATION Proposition going so there wont be any De Leons left to bring up these kinds of silly time wasting item back.

Denham was the only one who responded to my emails on AB962...

Dear _______________________:

Thank you for your correspondence expressing opposition to Assembly Bill 962 (DeLeon), which would require, beginning July 1, 2010, that any person who sells or transfers more than 50 rounds of handgun ammunition in any month to register as a handgun ammunition vendor.

As introduced, I will most certainly oppose this bill because I believe it creates another layer of burdensome regulations on both businesses and gun owners. Like other gun control regulations, this bill only burdens law abiding gun owners, not criminals, who will continue to purchase guns and ammunition through non-legal means. In fact, a similar program was tried and abandoned in the 1960’s after it was found to have no impact on crime rates.

While the Democrats in the Capitol continue to resist tougher sentencing law that would effectively keep violent felons off the street, they push for stricter gun laws that would make it more difficult for law abiding citizens to protect themselves. I believe this is the wrong approach and will continue to fight for right for law abiding citizens to own guns.

AB 962 passed the Assembly floor 42-31 and is now awaiting a hearing in the Senate Appropriations Commitee. Please be assured that I will keep your comments in mind if this bill comes before me in the Senate. You may monitor the progress of this bill at www.sen.ca.gov/runner.

Again, thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future regarding legislative issues of concern to you. It is an honor to serve you in the California State Senate.

Sincerely,

GEORGE C. RUNNER, JR.
Senator, 17th District
