California Legislative Update 4/14/02
Sunday, April 14, 2002
AB 2222, a measure that would mandate the regulation of large caliber target rifles chambered for .50 BMG cartridges, is slated to be heard before the Assembly Public Safety Committee on Tuesday, April 16. This bill seeks to register .50 caliber BMG rifles and treat them like "assault weapons" by creating a permit system. For the names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of the Assembly Public Safety Committee members, check out our "Write your Reps" feature. For the full text of the bill, go to www.leginfo.ca.gov. In addition, anti-gun Senator Don Perata (D-Alameda) has just announced his intention to push yet another outrageous mandate. His latest anti-gun bill would add a 5 cents per bullet sales tax in order to fund uninsured victims of firearm crimes or accidents in California’s trauma centers. Senator Perata is seeking to bring this measure to the November ballot through a 2/3 vote of the Legislature. Because this is a proposed constitutional amendment, this measure will remain "alive" until the close of session in August. Please call your lawmakers and ask that they oppose SCA 12 when it comes before them for a vote.
