CALNRA/CRPA: CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE ALERT --- ACTION REQUESTED NOW!!
9/03/2009 - MIDIGHT PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY

CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE ALERT --- ACTION REQUESTED ON AB962 & SB585

AB962
This bill would establish a database and a program administered and maintained by the Department of Justice for licensing handgun ammunition vendors, change the law so no person can transfer more than 50 rounds of handgun ammunition in any month unless he or she is registered as a handgun ammunition vendor. And many more restrictions..............

SB585
This bill would prohibit the sale of firearms and ammunition at the Cow Palace and would thereby make a violation of that prohibition a misdemeanor. This bill would ban having a gun show at the Cow Palace, which is a state owned facility in the South San Francisco area. If it passes, it will likely be expanded to ban gun shows on any public property, such as fairgrounds, throughout the State. It is a major attack on the right of sportsmen and other firearms owners to assemble, communicate with each other, and to purchase new, used and collectible firearms, accessories and sporting supplies.

Refer to this CAL-ERT at http://www.calnra.com/calerts/calert090309.shtml for more information and to take action. Time is critical as they might try to amend one or both of these bills tomorrow, September 4th.

There's Paul, burning the midnight oil and posting alerts at 11PM. Got one in the mailbox too.

But the guy at the gun shop assured me the NRA has given up on us! I'm so confused!

Thanks, Paul, for all the work you do for us....

Whoooooooooo me?

We are down to the crunch-time. If AB962 doesn't get amended by tomorrow, it won't be able to be amended and probably will have a very hard time passing during this part of the legislative session. That's why we must keep up the pressure!

BUT, we are hearing rumors from several sources that certain groups/organizations are trying to cut deals and obtain exemptions for their own programs/interests. So far, we don't know if they are true, but we are watching them very carefully. We'll all see if someone gets an exemption all-of-a-sudden. If that happens, we'll know who sold us out. That's why we must keep up the pressure!

Please send emails now, and make phone calls in the morning.

Should the one click emails for the senate and the assembly be the same ?

No. They are different bills and they have different addresses and destinations.

Folks,
Keep calling, writing and/or faxing.

That $3 Starbucks coffee break could be spent on some cellphone minutes politiely yammering at legislators.

Gaahhh. If I wanted to do that to coffee beans I'd just use a hand torch.

Wait, you weren't talking about the difference between roasting and carbonizing coffee? Oh, well.

Hmm. I wish I had your sources. There's a rumor about the Boy Scouts wanting to sell us out for thirty pieces of silver to save their rifle program, which would really suck, but my ears don't reach up to Sacramento where it counts so I don't know if it's bogus or not.

They'd better not--my sportsman's club just donated some money to them, and club members volunteer to teach rifle and such. I'd hate to have to call out the Boy Scouts next time they want a favor, but I've done worse.

Heh. When calling legislators I knew couldn't care less about the law I tended to tell them that this stupid bill would make it illegal for me to volunteer teach the BSA rifle program. I figured that was a pretty good angle--I'll be annoyed if the rumor is true and it was guys like me that put the idea on the table.

Does Ed W. Know which law makers need some extra phone calls..or is it all of them still?

[6172crew]

Paul, this guy has a different email.

http://arc.asm.ca.gov/member/38/?p=email

It went to my spam box

[woodsman]

Just called the office of Mark Desaulnier to go on record against both bills. I also asked had they had many phone calls to which the response was " in the biggining yes, then it died down and now in the eleventh hour it has quickly picked back up."

I hope our representatives will REPRESENT us.
