ASM Public Safety Committee meeting is 2013-04-02 at 9 AM

[the86d]

What about reloading components, anyone read this and know?

[FFASpector]

On another note, Quirk just reintroduced a bill that everybody agreed "mysteriously and incorrectly died." Then it moved out unanimously....a second time. It would be nice to know how one mysteriously kills one of these bills....

[the86d]

Quirk indeed. Must have been one.

Ok just got out of one meeting at work and headed to another.

For clarification, can someone confirm the following:

AB 48: Ammo restrictions - passed 5-2
AB 169: Unsafe handguns - passed 5-2
AB 500: Firearms - not yet heard.

So according to Librarian's thread on 'how does a bill become law', it says:
Here's the general pattern:
Introduced in one chamber
Committee 1 > Committee 2 > Full house
Goes to the other house;
Committee 1 > Committee 2 > Full house
Goes to the Governor

So are we at the bolded section now?

[FFASpector]

AB 48: Ammo restrictions - Moved Out of this Committee 5-2
AB 169: Unsafe handguns - Moved Out of this Committee 5-2
AB 500: Firearms - not yet heard.

Confirmed. AB 500 in maybe 10 minutes.

[VAReact]

Kaligaran -yes, that is my understanding of where things sit right now.

[FFASpector]

AB 500 is up. Going for the hat trick.

Yes. Committee 2 is generally Appropriations unless there is a 2nd policy committe, but that is not usually the case with these bills (exception might be judiciary but doubtful).

[FFASpector]

Pros:

"Additional 7 day waiting period necessary to keep guns out of the wrong hands. I'm open to extending that to a higher number."

"It's common sense that if we're going to have background checks, we should have enough time to process them."

"We feel safe storage should be required in all homes."

"On average it takes 8-10 days to do a thorough background check."

"The mother of a friend of mine used a firearm to take her life, therefore it only makes sense to support this bill."

[the86d]

Think of the children...

[FFASpector]

Cons:

"CA already takes longer than anyone else."

"If we need more time, why aren't we using the $24M surplus in the DROS account to expedite the background checks?"

"Requirement for a law-abiding citizen to secure firearms while prohibited person is in the home not constitutional."

No questions or comments asked by the Dems...

[the86d]

Communists!

[FFASpector]

AB 500 5-2 moves along....

[FFASpector]

Adjourned.
