LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
This information is accurate
at the time this CAL-ERT was written and originally distributed.
The scheduled times and dates for hearings are subject to change,
by the legislature, with little or no advance notice. The NRA Members' Councils of
California will keep
you informed as the legislative situation changes in Sacramento.
Legislation:
AB50 (Koretz) - .50 Caliber Rifle Ban - would ban the
sale/possession of rifles that are chambered for the .50 BMG
cartridge. AB50 is on the Assembly Floor.
AB 992 (Ridley-Thomas) - Ammo Tax - This bill would levy a tax on the sale of ammunition of 10 cents on every cartridge sold at retail to fund a "Victims Reimbursement Fund." AB992 is on the Assembly Floor.
SB489 (Scott) - Semi-Auto Handgun bill - would have required that all semiautomatic handguns, manufactured after a specific date - that are imported and sold in California, be equipped with a loaded chamber indicator and a magazine disconnect mechanism. SB489 is on the Senate Floor.
SB601 (Perata) - .50 Caliber Handgun Ban - would ban sale/possession of .50 caliber handguns. This bill is aimed specifically at the new S&W .500 Magnum cartridge but would also ban others. SB601 is still on the Suspense File in the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Action requested:
KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!!!
Your voice is being heard in the Capitol. Please continue to
CALL, FAX, and EMAIL the legislators. All
three methods of communication are effective and we must keep
up the broad-based effort.
The NRA recognizes the efforts that firearms owners have made to defend their Second Amendment freedoms and these efforts are appreciated. But as long as there is a legislative threat, we will continue to keep you informed and ask you to contact the legislators in the Capitol and in the District Offices. Together, we can make a difference.
