Overriding Gov. Brown regarding Bill374

[dinkydau]

I attended the small gunshow in Antioch yesterday and overheard someone saying the legislature could override Gov Brown and pass 374 regarding semi-autos. Is this true and can they do that? I'm not in the political spectrum so I do know how it works.
Can someone out there please enlighten me? Thanx!

They don't have the votes for an override. Even if the democrats still had a super majority, not all democrats even supported this bill.

technically, yes; but practically, no

Anyone who thinks this Democratic Legislature is going to over ride a Democratic Governor when they only able to pass the bill by one vote is smoking some real good stuff.....But at a gun show the dealers are going to say that to get you to buy some overpriced POS...........

ETA: If you believe that, then I have this M4 copy that's almost just like the ones used by the Navy Seals to kill OBL........I'll sell it to you for $4,000.00. today.......

I don't think Steinberg would even try. Even if he had the Butts-in-Seats, he would probably be hard pressed to get a simple majority after what happened in Colorado. There will be no override.

Geez Sarge, the OP asked only a simple question in a polite manner so he could educate himself on the matter at hand........

We should call and write telling them to do it. We need to embolden and energize our side.

PS. They don't have the votes.

I thought the legislative session was already over, too late to over ride anything.

Constitutionally, they could do that. But I don't see the votes as being there for it. Just no tthere.

I didn't see anyone directly answer your question of how it works. If both houses of our legislature get a 2/3s vote to override a veto, the bill will become law over the governor's objections.

As people are saying, the bill passed the legislature by one vote the first time. The chance that a bunch of people who voted against the bill to now support it is slim to none.

Also, don't believe anything you hear at a gun show.

Our legislative sessions are two years long and this one ends in 2014. We are in recess now, not adjourned.

This means that the bills that didn't pass, like SB396, are still technically alive and can come back like a zombie at any time.

In addition to the votes not being there, also please remember that we have a democratic party governor, and a democratic majority in the legislature. Party politics are going to prevent some of the members who voted for the bill, to support an override.

It looks like the process actually worked on this one and the Governor deserves some credit.

Of course, this years was still a net loss for gun owners. There's still a lot of work left to be done in Sacramento.

The CA legislature could absolutely override it. They could choose to vote again and pass it with 2/3rds in both the assembly and senate. The amount of votes it had on its original passage to the governor is not relevant; many will vote a certain way or abstain for perception, depending on their district if they already know a bill will pass. This is the first CA legislature that has a Democrat 2/3rds supermajority in both the assembly and the senate, so we will how the choose to use their power.

That said, based on Steinberg's comments, I don't believe they'd attempt to override the veto.

“While I’m certainly disappointed with the Governor’s decision, I know he gave thoughtful consideration to balancing the issues raised in SB 374. We can agree to disagree, and will continue to work collaboratively for the benefit of all Californians.”
