Just because it's aimed at Hunting, doesn't mean those stupid idjits won't write it where it affects us.

[The Original Lumpy Gritz]

Correct, and it has been done before in Ca.

I just called the Hon. Mr. Rendon's Sacramento office. The bill is AB 711, http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/13-14/bill/asm/ab_0701-0750/ab_711_bill_20130221_introduced.html

According to the guy I talked with, since it has just gone to committee the amendment introduced Monday (the deadline for amending bills - supposedly), the language of the ban won't show up on Caleginfo until it comes out of committee. And the bill title will likely not reflect that it is now an ammo ban.

Not quite the gut and amend, but in the same spirit - to hide the intent. He got kind of upset when I said it was like gut and amend and that they were attempting to hide the true intent of it. He claimed it was just "smoothing out the language."
