I picked this up on another board, wanted to make sure folks here were aware of this.-DarkStar11
CAL NRA Alert- .50 caliber ban hearing www.calnra.org -- FULL ALERT-- California .50 Caliber Ban HEARING TUESDAY April ******PLEASE REPOST WIDELY************ AB 2222, which is a .50 caliber ban has its first hearing on April 2nd in the Assembly Public Safety Committee. PLEASE FAX AND TELEPHONE THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND URGE THEM TO VOTE AGAINST THIS MEASURE. E-MAILS ARE NOT AS EFFECTIVE,BUT IF THAT IS ALL YOU CAN MUSTER, DO THAT. CONCENTRATE ON THE DEMOCRATS. It would treat .50 caliber rifles as machine guns, banning future sales and requiring current owners to dispose of them or register them as destructive devices (virtually impossible in California). For information on this bill, see the Fifty Caliber Shooter's Association Policy Institute at www.fcspi.org. They will have some details on the bill and how to argue the case against it. It is truly a solution in search of a problem. To my knowledge, there has never been a crime committed with a .50 cal in the USA, much less California, but that won't stop them from trying to capitalize on the war on terrorism and scaring people by calling these "sniper weapons". To get all the latest "gun" news visit www.calnra.org.

    I still say they know so little about guns in CA govt. that there's even odds they will write a law that accidentally bans rifle-bored shotguns and .50-cal slugs as well...

    I Doubt this will pass as there is no Grandfather clause.

    Unfortunately, this idiotic bill will likely pass and will likely be signed by the govenor. The anti-gun wing of the Democratic party is so firmly entrenched in California that two questions now have the same answer: Why does a dog lick its private parts? Why does the Democrat-controlled legislature in California pass anti-gun legislation? Do let what's happened here serve as a warning to those of you in states where candidates feel they have to be somewhat wary of alienating gun owners for the time being, and look very carefully at the record of any candidate who denies that he or she wants to take your guns away.By the way, those who claim that gun control has no effect are wrong; it has changed me from a life-long Democrat into a primarily Republican voter.
