AB 992 (Ridley-Thomas) - Ammo Tax - After being defeated in 2003, the NRA Members' Councils of California learned late Friday, 1/23/2004, that this outrageous attack on the law-abiding shooting community had re-appeared in a surprise move on the Assembly floor. AB 992 would levy a tax on the sale of ammunition of 10 cents on every cartridge sold at retail to fund a "Victims Reimbursement Fund."
During today's Assembly floor session, file item 67, known to us as AB992 (ammo tax) was moved back onto the "Inactive file."
Legislators, and their staffs, report that a heavy volume of calls, faxes, and emails were waiting for them when they arrived at their offices this morning. It seems that your activities this past weekend have had the desired affect. Thank you.
This bill is not yet dead so we need to continue to call, fax, and email, through the end of this week. Things appear to be positive, but we cannot rest until this is gone. Please keep up the pressure.
