CA: AB992 Up for vote at anytime. Get busy and let's stop it dead.

AB992 Up for vote at anytime. Get busy and let's stop it dead.

If we stop it in the Assembly for the rest of this week it is done
for the year . If we don't it is likely to pass the Senate ( we have
less
influence there) and the Gov. will sign it. That means a brick of .22
cal ammo could have a $50.00 tax added on.

Make the call, and keep it up this week.

AB 992 (Ridley-Thomas) - Ammo Tax - This bill would levy a tax on
the sale of ammunition of 10 cents on every cartridge sold at retail
to fund a ³Victims Reimbursement Fund².

AB992 is on the Assembly Floor and could be heard at any time,
probably today.

State Assembly: A complete listing of all of the members of the
State Assembly including phone/fax/email information can be found
at: http://www.nramemberscouncils.com/legs/asm.shtml . Also, you
can send a single email to each of the State Assembly Members by
using the special "ONE CLICK" email address that you can find at:
http://www.nramemberscouncils.com/legs.shtml . By sending one email
to the special "ONE CLICK" address, each one of the State Assembly
Members will receive a copy of your message (so it is probably a
good idea to address your messages with: Dear Assembly Member,).

Because the time is so short, it is best to focus on making phone
calls and sending faxes into the Assembly Members' Capitol Offices.
Again, their contact information is at:
http://www.nramemberscouncils.com/legs/asm.shtml .

Go get 'em! Let them hear from you. Don't let them rest.

AB 992 was to be voted on today 6-6-03 in the Assembly.
I can't get any info on the net as both the Calnra website and California's legislative website isn't updated yet.

According to the California Gun Owner's Page link :

Today, 6/5/2003 AB 992 was placed in the Assembly Inactive File, effectively killing the bill for this year.
Congrats to all of you who called, faxed, and wrote letters and in general put heat on the legislators, which we know do not see the light until they feel the heat!

Since the above quote is from yesterday...........

Would it be worth it for non CA residents to write to CA politicians on gun issues? I'd be willing to do it to help you guys out. Maybe they'll assume I'm an out of state resident. Of course I'd need all the relevant info from you guys.

Incoming reports at www.calguns.net indicate AB992 died on the floor of the California Assembly last night. It did not come up for a third reading and died a much too gentle death...

Now! Let us all go to the polls of this great country and vote out of office all of the elitist bliss ninnies who would deprive us of all freedoms granted to each of us by the Constitution.

Amen, Giant!

Nice job !

Rock ON! This one had a seriously ugly side to it well beyond the additional cost incurred. It would have been a massive backdoor to de-facto banning of recreational shooting. My own state (IL) would surely have followed suit shortly.

This would effectively kill all ammo sales in Kali. Everyone will just order it themselves. As if Kali gunshops aren't already hurting enough, imagine this on top of it. However reading earlier about the $60 transfer fee that some gun shop crooks are charging, I'd like to know why they charge that much in that hellhole known as Southern Kali.
