If it's bad for cops it's REALLY bad to civilians

Help Stop SB 396

[WyattandDoc]

I agree

THIS


I am not a basher of Policeman, I know their job is unthankful and a risk everyday. But so are many jobs that don't get special protection's only because they don't have a Lobby/Union that will scream bloody murder if their rank and file are lumped in with the unwashed!! I appreciate all the LEO's service but your not a protected class in my eyes.

I agree with you Brother. Unfortunately the upper echelon of our departments are the ones who could have any influence to our benefit.

The average Coppers are adamant supporters of the 2nd Amendment ( For EVERYONE). More than most people realize.

[Gowking]

LOL so their special retired LEO exemption status may be coming to an end and now it's time to panic? Tough **** bro welcome to average citizen status.

[Calplinker]

Ummm, rather than pounce on the OP and try to rub his nose in it, why don't you folks grasp the opportunity he has just handed you?

Many here have posted that it would sure help having LEO and their Unions behind us.

Now is our chance to make it so.....

Let's help him get the word out to LEO agencies, retirees, etc....

[Johnny_Utah]

I don't see why retirees should be exempt when my rights are trampled on. That being said I'm still gonna fight the bill but they are not special and it's time they are reminded of that

Agreed. While I am the first person to stand up for our LEO's, I wonder if this guy was complaining while we the citizens were being disarmed? He is only worried now because retired police are being affected?

[2nd4ever]

If we are going to do this, why not include SB 374 as well? I know many LEOs who own personal ARs.
SB 374 affects them too.
What use is SB 396 if you are forced to turn your AR into a doorstop?

[Steve_In_29]

The reason why I posted this was to show we are the same as eveyone else. But reality is (was) we are/were capacity exempt. For them to change that shows how phychotic things are getting. I'm very serious about not being treated differently just cause I chose a certain profession, so knock the chips off your shoulders, we're all in this together.

Too bad LEOs weren't "in this together" with us civilians back when it could have REALLY made a difference in this State. Back then you all were more then happy to enjoy your privileged positions and let your Union support anti-gun laws in exchange for higher paychecks.

It's not the same. The legislators will grant them exemptions to appease them and we will be left hanging.

I agree with you Brother. Unfortunately the upper echelon of our departments are the ones who could have any influence to our benefit. And we all know they're nothing but political puppets.

d Amendment ( For EVERYONE). More than most people realize.

I appreciate that you agree with me! I know that many rank and file do. I also know that many pay lip service to non LEO's. LEO's are human and if it does not affect them it is not quite as important as if it does!!!!!! We are human and it shows everywhere. "IF IT AIN'T ON MY DOORSTEP I CAN WAIT TILL IT IS".

I am confident it is on every gun owners door step in California today!

agreed.

No, they can no longer grant exemptions for retired LEO.

Are you incapable of reading? Go back to post #1.

Exactly.. IMO I think teh word shouldnt get out to LEOs, then if its passed there will be a bigger push for repeal.. at this point they can still add excemptions??

I see... this could be a really big plus for us in that case.

[POLICESTATE]

Retired LEO's might be criminalized by this bill? Equal protection under the law. That's all I have to say about that.

As for the bill itself, I oppose it and all other gun bills passed since the 1934 National Firearms Act. I urge our fellow citizens in Law Enforcement to oppose all of these gun bills in process now, and even push for repealing all the other gun bills that have done absolutely nothing to remove firearms from the people that most want to harm LEOs and the rest of us.

[flyer898]

Peace Officers and Retired Peace Officers are our natural allies in this fight. We need to welcome them. All of us who own, or wish to own firearms are in the same boat. The goal of those we are fighting is to divide us, and incrementally, baby step by baby step, continue until we are all disarmed.

Unless we realize this and hang together, we will all hang separately.
