Gun Show Ban Legislation Heads to Senate Floor in California!

Friday, August 8, 2008

Please Contact Your State Senator Today!

As we reported, three anti-gun bills were placed in the Senate Appropriations Committee’s suspense file due to cost constraints. Fortunately, two of the three (Assembly Bill 2062 and Assembly Bill 2235) failed in yesterday’s hearing.

However, the fight is far from over. Assembly Bill 2948 was passed out of the Committee and now heads to the Senate floor. AB2948 would prohibit the sale of firearms and ammunition on the property or inside the buildings that comprise the Cow Palace. Simply put, this bill is a stepping-stone to banning all gun shows in the Golden State and it must be stopped.

Please contact your State Senator TODAY and respectfully urge him or her to oppose AB2948 when it comes before them for a vote. Contact information for your State Senator can be found here.
