Angelides noted that Arnold won the endorsement of the California Rifle and Pistol Association, the state wing of the National Rifle Association, and quickly pounced on connecting the NRA with the Governor.
No wonder: Gun safety is overwhelmingly supported by California voters, particularly among Democrats. Angelides is seeking to exploit the Governor's NRA support, citing the Governor's veto of two bills advanced by gun safety advocates.They are:
AB 2714 by Rep. Alberto Torrico (D), which would have banned internet/mail order sales of ammunition unless the buyer presented an ID with proof of age to the seller. It also would have repealed the preemption law that restricts cities and counties from regulating ammunition sales.
SB 59 by Sen. Alan Lowenthal (D), which would have required anyone whose handgun was lost or stolen to report it to local law enforcement.

I agree, I thank God daily for our leaders and Freepers.
Oh please!
With the possible exception of Massachussetts, Gun Control is a LOSER. I can't believe the D's are still telling themselves this lie.
Even if the majority of people 'say' they favor gun control (most don't if you actually talk to them), you'll lose 2 votes for every 1 you gain, because people that are for gun control don't vote on it, while those who are against it DO vote on it.
The Dems feel buying ammo requires a picture ID, but not voting.
Defeat the Republicans so you can elect conservatives by electing liberal gun grabbing dems. That's a plan??!?!??
And what organization promotes gun safety the most? The NRA, of course!
"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed and hence, clamorous to be led to safety - by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." -- H. L. Mencken, In Politics
The Democrats are masters at convincing suburban female voters that guns are coming (all by themselves - you are supposed to pay no attention to the young urban black males wielding them) to their safe, isolated neighborhoods to kill their children...and the only way to stop these evil tools of the Right Wing is to vote Democrat, early and often.
Manipulating the natural sentiment "Ban or imprison everything that might potentially hurt my child!" is a very popular campaign tool used by both parties as a cloak for the ulterior motive of restricting liberty.
I believe excepting AB50, Arnold has vetoed all gun control bills. Yes, his signature on AB50 was wrong (but politically expedient in this blue state), but Angelides would sign them all and ask for more. I'm more concerned that he appears to have abandoned any pretense of fiscal conservatism...
I sure as heck consider you to be a 'true conservative'!
I hold know argument with this part of your statement.
Good morning, Doodlelady. Smells a bit fresher in here this morning.
Silly boy, don't you know the difference between no and know?
The defection of these nitwits will be overwhelming by the votes of moderates and rational people.
I say again, most of these nitwits are fifth columnists who have always planned to vote straight demon-ticket.
Of that I have no doubt.
Hey You!
Yep ~ must be the smell of victory just over the horizon.
Funny how that clears the air.
Straight GOP ticket, BTTT!
Straight GOP ticket!
bttt
