Assembly Bill 352 was not heard today.  Instead, AB 352 is now expected to be heard on the Assembly floor this Thursday, May 12.  AB 352 expands the definition of "unsafe handguns" to include semi-automatic pistols that are not designed and equipped with an array of microscopic characters, which identify the make, model, and serial number of the pistol, etched into the interior surface or internal working parts, which are then transferred by imprinting on each cartridge case when the firearm is fired.

Please continue to contact members of the Assembly before Thursday, May 12, asking them to oppose AB 352.  Assembly Members can be reached at (916) 319-20 then your district number.   You can find further contact information on your elected officials by using NRA-ILA`s "Write Your Representatives" feature.   

Senate Bill 357 would establish a program requiring serialization of handgun ammunition to be enforced by the Department of Justice. The manufacture, transfer, and possession of non-serialized handgun ammunition after July 1, 2007 would be considered a crime. SB 357 would also require ammunition vendors and manufacturers to register with the Department of Justice.  This anti-gun legislation is waiting to be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee.  Please continue to contact members of the committee at (916) 651-4101 and urge them to oppose SB 357.

Please encourage your friends, family, and fellow sportsmen to contact their Legislators, as well!

This is a terrible bill and needs to be defeated. As goes California, so does the rest of the country.

I hope they pass it and the manufacturers don't give in. They simple cut off all sales to kalifornia including law enforcement.

Then those gungrabbing idiots can see what a 'gun-free' world really looks like. The mexican gangsters will still have theirs but the citizens and cops will feel the pinch as they can not legally purchase firearms.

This thread has just added to the FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".

Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it.

"I hope they pass it and the manufacturers don't give in. They simple cut off all sales to kalifornia including law enforcement."

Ronnie Barrett of Barrett Firearms in Tennessee has done exactly this, and moreover, states it in no uncertain terms in their latest run of full page ads for their new M107 .50BMG semiauto.

Now there's a guy who is willing to stand tall and be counted.

In an ideal world they would...but most won't though b/c they depend so heavily on government sales.

I wonder if it's a violation of the Commerce Clause or equal protection for a state to refuse to allow a resident of another state to move there and maintain possession of a non-compliant firearm. If I lived in Wyoming and wanted to move to California with my Glock 26, shouldn't I be able to?
