The governor signed a measure fromAssemblywoman Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, which bans kits that allowpeople to turn regular ammunition magazines into high-capacitymagazines, as well as two other pieces of legislation that restrict theability of mentally ill people to possess firearms. But Brown rejected a bill that wouldhave required owners whose firearms are lost or stolen to promptlynotify law enforcement. The governor noted he vetoed a similar bill lastyear and still doubts that criminalizing the failure to report missingweapons would help law enforcement track down gun traffickers or thoseprohibited from owning weapons. They ALL "merit legal challenges." Every last one of them. Link to comment

The NRA knows this..about every anti gun law has legal challenges....pick the ones you can defeat now while continuing to work on the ones that are more difficult. I see nothing wrong with the NRA's statement. GG Link to comment
Subdeacon Joe Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 There is the implication that some of them are just fine. Ban lead ammo for hunting now, then ban it for target shooting. Ban all magazines that hold over 10 rounds, and parts that go to magazines that hold more than 10, soon you won't be able to get parts to repair your 10 rounders. As I said, the ALL need to be fought, and we need all the help we can get to do it. Calguns, CRPA, and others in state are doing their part, but it's like sending a few platoons to stop a division.

The Shoer 27979 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I can so see this one in court Lumpy, just because it will outlaw so many rifles in common use. Link to comment

Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Tubular magazines are still exempted as I read the new law. (page updated Oct 15th 2013) ---AB 48 signed in to law.---16740.5. As used in this part, a "large-capacity magazine" shall not be construed to include any of the following: (a) A .22 caliber tube ammunition feeding device.

Subdeacon Joe Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Still needs to be fought in court, Cliff. And to fight all of them, we need outside help. Link to comment
