Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday signed six gun-control bills into law, including a requirement that ammunition purchasers undergo background checks. The governor vetoed five other measures.
“My goal in signing these bills is to enhance public safety by tightening our existing laws in a responsible and focused manner, while protecting the rights of law-abiding gun owners,” Brown wrote in a message.
Brown approved bills that would ban the sale of semiautomatic rifles equipped with bullet buttons allowing the ammunition magazines to be easily detached and replaced.
The National Rifle Assn. Institute for Legislative Action accused the governor of exploiting the terrorist attacks for political gain.
“Gov. Jerry Brown today signed a Draconian gun control package that turns California’s law-abiding gun owners into second-class citizens,” said Amy Hunter, California spokesperson for the group. “ The governor and legislature exploited a terrorist attack to push these measures through even though the state’s already restrictive laws did nothing to stop the attack in San Bernadino.”
Bills the governor signed will:
— Require an ID and background check to purchase ammunition and create a new state database of ammunition owners
— Ban possession of ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 bullets.
— Restrict the loaning of guns without background checks to close family members.
Brown acted on the gun bills just before he left for a European vacation expected to last a few weeks.

Where is the NRA?!?!?!?! We need someone to stop this! Lawsuits...anything!
Notice that on our side, nobody appeals?
If this were against the Left, there would already be appeals filed.
We have no Republican party in California. It’s a big joke.
That’s racist.

Proof:
BL(d)M
Insanity
—the NRA could dump the entire budget in your state and it would do no good whatsoever-—it is a lost cause—
How bout surround their buildings and dare them to come out?
That’s what it is coming to. Soon I hope.
What? No Sit-Ins? Very disappointed.
Your state is far past the point where anything short of violent insurrection has any chance of working.
Oregon will probably follow suit next year. My concern is finding 10 bullet magazines for my existing firearms.
There are none. I already looked in my areas locally. Even local gun stores are going to be driven out of business since owners will be deterred from buying ammo due to being added to a database.
RIDICULOUS!!!!
No more gun violence in California EVER!!
You read it here first, folks!
Gee, where is all that big talk about turning things around? Still a turd swirling the bowl.
I also live in California.
I will now purchase my ammunition in Nevada, Oregon, or Arizona.
F#CK CALIFORNIA, they just won’t get the sales taxes on the purchase!
I needed some excuses for out of state hunting trips anyway.
I’ve been told that Brown’s brains are fried and have been since the 60’s.
Linky no workey :(
It’s on the front page of the LA Times. They are spiking the football.
That makes him perfect for gov of California, I’d think.
