All,
Thanks to your hard work and support, we've defeated SB 249 twice now. The "conversion kit" ban was such an unpassable mess that Senator Yee has had to gut and amend SB 249 - again - and create an entirely new bill. We look forward to defeating this fourth iteration of SB 249 and hope you'll continue to help us Stop SB 249.
SB 249 Version 4 is a facially unconstitutional change to the Penal Code that bans outright "Bullet Button" firearms and criminalizes the possession of currently-legal firearms without offering any method of compensation or grandfathering of these existing guns. As our Fact Sheet explains, this new SB 249 has a number of fatal flaws.
SB 249, if passed as it stands today, would change the Code as follows:
Please help us keep the pressure on our Legislature and STOP SB 249.
-Brandon

SB 249, if passed as it stands today, would change the Code as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 30515 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
(d)
(1) For the purposes of this section, “detachable magazine” means any ammunition feeding device that can be readily removed from the firearm without disassembly of the firearm action. “Detachable magazine” includes a magazine that may be detached from the firearm by merely depressing a button on the firearm either with the finger or by use of a tool or a bullet.
(2) The Attorney General shall amend applicable regulations to bring those regulations into conformity with this subdivision.
(3) This subdivision shall become operative on July 1, 2013.
SEC. 2. The amendment of Section 30515 of the Penal Code made by Section 1 of this act does not constitute a change in, but is declaratory of, existing law.
SEC. 3. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
