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:
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 Appropriations
Committee. In a desperate attempt to gain passage, the
author of this ill-conceived piece of legislation has once again
amended it, but it is still bad! SB489 is currently scheduled
for a vote on August 20th. TAKE ACTION
TO OPPOSE! See "Action
Requested" below.
Action requested:
KEEP UP THE PRESSURE on SB489!!!
Use the contact information listed below.
Your voice has been 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 take notice that since SB489 has cleared it's "house of origin" it now has been sent to the other legislative house (the Assembly) to work it's way through the process.
Contact Information:
Assembly Appropriations Committee: The phone number
for this committee is (916) 319-2081. A complete listing of all
of the members of the Assembly Appropriations Committee
phone/fax/email information can be found HERE.
Also, you can send a single email to each of the Assembly
Appropriations Committee Members by using the special "ONE CLICK" email address
that you can find HERE.
By sending one email to the special "ONE
CLICK" address, each one of the Assembly Appropriations
Committee Members will receive a copy of your message (so
it is probably a good idea to address your messages with: Dear
Assembly Member,).
