Gov. Jerry Brown has vetoed a bill that would have banned future sales of most semi-automatic rifles

Did Gov Moonbeam grab the wrong pen while in a drug induced haze?

[NormsRevenge]

Too far-reaching? Lololol. That’s a good one, MoonBeam.. But it’s OK to let illegals have DLs and healthcare.. Strange times..:-)

This is surprising. The NRA still has some clout with their membership skyrocketing to epic levels. Nice to see Gov. Brown retains Americans right to shoot illegal alien invaders when the brutal Civil War starts.

Supporters of the new law say the use of lead bullets also endangers humans who eat game killed with the ammunition.

I weep tears of bitter piteousness for all the pioneers and hunters of yore who were killed by ingesting lead from freshly-killed game .... oh, wait, they weren't.

Sorry. Just another Susan Sarandon moment.

He probably thought the bill wasn’t strong enough because it talked about “semi-automatic” weapons. He’ll figure it out eventually.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Doesn’t really make a difference because it was all for show. When they repeal the law that allows gun confiscations because of rumors, ex-wife or family unproven accusations, inferences from neighbors, anonymous accusations, etc. then there might be a difference. If they want your gun, they’ve got ample legal ammunition to go get it.

Be afraid be very afraid.

The majority Rat legislature put up SB 374 to provide Brown cover when he vetoed it for all the other firearm measures he signed. Not a good day for freedom.

This should do a lot to drive down the inflated prices of AR-15 clones in Calif.

California: Anti-Gun/Hunting Bills are both Signed into Law and Vetoed by Governor Brown Today

 

The wait is over for California’s law-abiding gun owners, sportsmen and Second Amendment supporters.  Governor Brown has signed some anti-gun bills and one anti-hunting bill into law.  However, he also vetoed several anti-gun bills.

Below is a list of the bills signed into law and vetoed as well as a link to the respective descriptions given by Governor Brown.

The NRA will be looking over all the recently signed laws and our legal options for law-abiding Californians.

Thanks to NRA members, gun owners, sportsmen and Second Amendment supporters who tirelessly called and e-mailed their state legislators and the Governor urging them to oppose all the anti-gun/hunting legislation. Without your help, the veto actions on some of the deeply flawed anti-gun bills may not have occurred.
