AB 1020, as introduced, Bonta. Firearms: letter to purchasers.


Existing law prohibits a firearm from being delivered within 10 days of the application to purchase, or, after notice by the Department of Justice, within 10 days of the submission to the department of any correction to the application, or within 10 days of the submission to the department of a required fee, whichever is later.

This bill would require the Attorney General to send a letter during the 10-day waiting period to each individual who has applied to purchase a firearm informing him or her of firearms laws relating to gun trafficking and safe storage, as provided.

I'm sure CA DOJ would be real happy for the extra busy work that generates no new funds.

Didn't I learn that when I tested for my HSC?

You sure did, but just in case you forgot, we need another useless piece of legislation.

This is what will happen with me as I do not have a mail box or accept mail at my property.

Good idea actually.

No fees for us... costs them money in postage..... Helps keep the doors of the US Post Office open.....

Win win.

However, before you return to sender, tape the letter to a brick to up the postal fees....

I would almost guarante that if passed, there will be a bill to increase DROS fees annually, to keep up with the cost of postage.

Bills have to state what fees would be in the submission. This one didnt show one. Though the summary was cut short apparently.


Read any of the official threads on these new bills. Look at the summary, down at the bottom. They have to fill out if it has a cost, if so, where it comes from. If it generates revenue, where the money will go, if it requires local programs, etc, etc.

stupid as stupid does.

How much does it cost when your doctor writes a letter?

How much does it cost when your lawyer writes a letter?

Add those two up, multiply by three, and you have how much it costs the government to write you a letter; and then they'll charge you twice as much.

[tcrpe]

So, every purchase will come with a threatening letter from the government?

Nice!

Oh, they'll be happy to add $50 to the DROS fee to cover it.

Just watch.
