Two Anti-Gun Bills Awaiting Action in California!
Thursday, July 03, 2008
Two anti-gun bills are awaiting consideration by the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Assembly Bill 2235 would prohibit the sale of handguns other than "owner-authorized (or “smart”) handguns"-- that is, handguns with a permanent, programmable biometric feature that renders the firearm useless unless activated by the authorized user. No proven, viable handgun of this type has ever been developed. Introduced by Assemblyman Mark DeSaulnier (D-11), AB2235 would require the Attorney General to report to the Governor and Legislature on the availability of owner-authorized handguns. Once the Attorney General finds that these guns are available, only “owner-authorized” handguns could be approved for sale in California.
Assembly Bill 2948 could be headed for action on the Senate floor any day. Introduced by State Assembly Member Mark Leno (D-13), this bill would ban the sale of firearms and ammunition on the property or inside the buildings that comprise the Cow Palace.
