AB2235: Another One to Fight

[RM1]

Keep those calls and letters going!


California “Smart Gun” Bill Passes Assembly, Now Heads to Senate!

Thursday, May 29, 2008


On Wednesday, May 28, the Assembly voted 41-30 to pass Assembly Bill 2235. The bill now heads to the Senate for its consideration.

AB2235 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.

Please contact your State Senator TODAY and respectfully urge him or her to oppose AB2235 when it comes before them for a vote. Contact information can be found here.

Even law enforcement is against this - the assembly is out of control.

The mylar balloon industry is a billion dollar industry when you consider how it affects other retail businesses. Why do they feel the need to do stupid?

So, if this abomination passes...

The Brady campaign builds a few dozen TC Contenders with RFID readers in them, and RFID tags on the back of watches. They pay for them to be "safety tested" and get on the list, get an FFL and offer them for sale for $5k each.

No more new gun sales in California.

Shhhhh Quiet, they aren't that smart.

No need to give them extra ammo, but I do see your point. Kind of like having one Micro-Stamping company testify that all info can go on a firing pin/chamber and golly gee, there isn't any other real testing being done other than by their company.
