CAL-ERT 06/27/03 -- 11:15 A. M.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
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 has passed the
Assembly and is now in the Senate Public Safety Committee. It is scheduled
for a vote on July 1st. TAKE ACTION TO OPPOSE! See "Action Requested"
below.
AB 992 (Ridley-Thomas) - Ammo Tax - This bill would have levied a tax on the
sale of ammunition of 10 cents on every cartridge sold at retail to fund a
“Victims Reimbursement Fund.” AB992 failed to get enough votes on the
Assembly Floor and was moved to "inactive" status. GOOD JOB! We can expect
to see AB992 come back next year (as a "two-year bill").
SB489 (Scott) - Semi-Auto Handgun bill - would require 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 has passed the Senate and now is
in the Assembly Public Safety Committee. It is scheduled for a vote on July
1st. TAKE ACTION TO OPPOSE! See "Action Requested" below.
SB601 (Perata) - .50 Caliber Handgun Ban - would have banned sale/possession
of .50 caliber handguns. This bill was aimed specifically at the new S&W
.500 Magnum cartridge but would have also banned others. SB601 is still in
the Senate Appropriations Committee and was moved to "inactive" status.
GOOD JOB! We can expect to see SB601 come back next year (as a "two-year
bill").
Action requested:
KEEP UP THE PRESSURE on AB50 and SB489!!! Use the contact information
listed below.
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 have made a difference.
Note: Please notice that since AB50 and SB489 have cleared their respective
"houses of origin" they have now been sent to the other legislative house to
work their way through the process.
