Dear Governor Brown,
I am writing to request your VETO of bill AB231 - the bill calling to revise and expand laws relating to firearms storage.
This bill is unnecessary and goes beyond the role of politicians and government, in dictating how and what we as private citizens do in our own homes. It's very reminiscent of tactics curated by overreaching regimes, prying into privacy about what people can and can not do as law-abiding citizens behind closed doors, where there is no question of moral turpitude, and the law itself present nothing more than a scheme of logistics.
We already have FEDERAL LAWS demanding we lock up our firearms in a certain manner, that we MUST buy individual locks for firearms for each and every purchase, no matter that we can show proof of having a gun safe that trumps any of the best firearm locks devised.
Furthermore, we have California STATE LAWS forcing us to buy other forms of locks and mandating a bevy of "storage laws" so much so, that a flow-chart is needed just to get an idea of where and what storage rule applies, and when. Furthermore, the engineering of those locks and storage methods are ALSO regulated by the state requiring ''DOJ APROVAL".
ENOUGH with all of these mechanical hop-skip-and-jump-games of gun storage, that do NOTHING to stop violent crime, do NOTHING to stop criminals from getting guns, and do NOTHING but extract wasteful dollars out of my wallet each and every time I buy a firearm.
As a gun owner with a top of the line gun safe, it presents a FAR BETTER safety storage than any of the locks-per-gun I am forced to buy for every firearm purchase, which typically cost $10.00 plus tax. I have no need for them nor would I ever use them. I am aggravated by the redundant wasteful ruse, especially knowing it is the result of pedantic political opportunists wasting my money to put a meaningless quip on their resumes and campaign fliers just to say they "did something" about locking up guns.
It's not even environmentally friendly! Imagine a law forcing you to buy a $10.00 "special envelope" every time you paid your monthly mortgage; but you pay your mortgage over the internet. Those $10.00 locks I am forced to buy go right into the trash, filling up a land-fill somewhere in California because they are not recyclable.
And here we are again, with Government virtually stepping into the privacy of our homes and telling us how we are to behave, how we are to store our belongings, when there is no morality aspect to the behavior itself that needs controlling.
Please VETO AB231.
