California: Gun Show Bill to be Heard Next Week!

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

Please Contact the Members of the Senate Appropriations Committee!

Senate Bill 585 is scheduled to be considered by the Senate Appropriations Committee on Monday, April 27.

Introduced by State Senator Mark Leno (D-3), SB585 would prohibit the sale of firearms and ammunition on the property or inside the buildings that comprise the Cow Palace.  In short, SB585 is a stepping-stone to banning gun shows on all publicly-owned property in California


Please contact the members of the Senate Appropriations Committee TODAY and respectfully urge them to oppose SB585 when it comes before them for consideration.
