ICYMI: Today, the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee is hearing AB 1223 to place an extra tax on your guns and ammo.
Other committees are hearing anti-gun bills this week as well. Please ask committee members to OPPOSE these bills.
Assembly Bill 1223 places an excise tax of 10% on the sales price of a handgun, and places an 11% excise tax on the sales price on all long guns, rifles, firearm precursor parts and ammunition to fund grants awarded through the Cal VIP program. It is unjust to saddle law-abiding gun owners with special taxes to fund social service programs.

On April 27th, the Assembly Public Safety Committee will hear Assembly Bill 1509. This bill reduces the penalties and sentencing enhancements for criminal misuse of firearms. Such an effort shows just how disingenuous Californian legislators are about stopping “gun violence.” The legislators who oppose holding criminals accountable for their actions are the same ones who continue to harass law-abiding gun owners.

On April 27th, the Senate Public Safety Committee will hear Senate Bill 538. This bill expands California’s program of suspending constitutional rights and seizing property by allowing electronic filing and witnesses to appear remotely. By allowing remote testimony, the due process protections are lessened, not enhanced, and may limit the opportunity to examine the credibility of a witness.

On April 28th, the Assembly Appropriations Committee will hear Assembly Bill 311. This bill prohibits the display or sale of any “precursor firearm parts” at gun shows on state property. Such restrictions continue to cut off access to law-abiding individuals who are looking to acquire firearm parts in accordance with existing law.

Thank you for your support in opposing these bills and making your voice heard!
Yours in Freedom,
