Gun Maker Lawsuit and Ammo Tax Bills
Are On The Move!! They Must Be Stopped!
The word I get from Sacramento is that we are not hitting them nearly
hard enough on SB-682 and AB-496. These two bills can easily stop ALL
GUN SALES in CA by holding the manufacturers legally responsible for
the actions of CRIMINALS! THESE BILLS CAN COME UP FOR A VOTE
AS EARLY AS NEXT WEEK. FAX AND CALL YOUR REPS NOW
AND GET YOUR FRIENDS ON BOARD TOO.

Phone: 916) 445-3808, Room 408
On the docket are Senate Bill 682 (Perata) and Assembly Bill 496 (Paul
Koretz, D-42), bills that would effectively strip firearms
manufacturers of current protection in state law granting them limited
statutory immunity from being sued. This limited immunity has been on
the books since 1983 and was passed originally to halt greedy trial
lawyers who want nothing more than to pad their bank accounts while
putting this nation`s lawful firearm manufacturers out of business.
California gun owners must work hard to assure that these harmful
legislative proposals are defeated! Please contact your Senator and
Assemblymember today and ask them to oppose SCA 12, SB 682, and AB
496!
California State Constitutional Amendment 12, a measure that would
levy a five cent tax on every bullet sold in the state, passed out of
the Senate Health and Human Services Committee on Wednesday. The
proposed amendment, introduced by Senator Don Perata (D-09), received
the minimum seven committee votes required for passage. Now, the
Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee may see the amendment as early
as next Wednesday, June 12.
