The way it got "gut and amended" just a few days ago, you might say that. In reality, the heat is being poured on. That means we need to turn the heat up on our end. Just know, together we can stop SB249! http://apro.assembly.ca.gov/membersstaff https://www.change.org/petitions/stop-sb-249 to sign the petition. Write the committee and let then know you oppose SB249. Ask them to refuse to it. Let' them know they can do the American thing and oppose SB249. Help stop the erosion of the 2nd Amendment Check out my blog http://shootinguy.blogspot.com/ This bill is currently being amended AGAIN and no one is clear on what amended language will ultimately be voted on for SB 249. Regardless of what this bill looks like in the end, SB 249 is a pure anti-gun bill and MUST be OPPOSED. SB 249 is expected to be heard and voted on next Tuesday, July 3 in the state Assembly Committee on Public Safety. This is also the deadline date for ALL legislation to pass or fail in the state Senate and Assembly policy committees for the 2012 legislative session. The state Assembly Committee on Public Safety needs to hear from ALL of California's gun owners and sportsmen urging them to OPPOSE SB 249. Contact information for the Committee members can be found here. Senator Yee and his staff also need to hear from California gun owners expressing their outrage that the Senator would suggest such a bill and urge him to pull SB 249 from the agenda. Senator Yee and his staff can be reached at 916-651-4008 and by e-mailhere or at Senator.Yee@senate.ca.gov. California has over 950 firearm laws on its books and criminals do not respect any of them. California Legislators think that adding more laws will reduce criminal activity, but 950 firearm laws later, criminals are still not respecting California law. Please urge the members of the state Appropriations Committee to protect the Second Amendment rights of California's law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen and OPPOSE SB 249. Here's a suggested letter: Please join me by opposing SB 249 because it is a continued assault on our Second Amendment Rights. The facts according to the CA Department of Justice are that since 1999, crimes with "assault weapons" are almost nonexistent! Additionally, there is not a single reported incident of a crime being committed with a rifle equipped with a "Bullet Button". It's obvious, SB 249 is unnecessary. It will however do 2 things if passed; 1) Infringe upon the rights of the people to keep and bear arms. (anti-constitutional) 2) Make criminals out of current law abiding citizens who legally own rifles so equipped. Please Oppose SB249. I know together we find a better way to fight crime. I assure you, it's not by eroding US citizens their constitutional rights. Thank ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjSEn7bCoZ8
