SACRAMENTO (CBS/AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown has vetoed a bill that would have banned future sales of most semi-automatic rifles that accept detachable magazines, part of a firearms package approved by state lawmakers in response to mass shootings in other states.

Did Gov Moonbeam grab the wrong pen while in a drug induced haze?

[KneelBeforeZod]

oops. I realize I should have clipped this article.

[NormsRevenge]

Too far-reaching? Lololol. That’s a good one, MoonBeam.. But it’s OK to let illegals have DLs and healthcare.. Strange times..:-)

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

This is surprising. The NRA still has some clout with their membership skyrocketing to epic levels. Nice to see Gov. Brown retains Americans right to shoot illegal alien invaders when the brutal Civil War starts.

[Ronin]

Must be part of some weird “keep them guessing” strategy.

I had to chuckle about the line where they said using lead ammo was dangerous to humans. Oh really? Since that has been the type of ammo used pretty much since firearms were invented, how come were just finding about about the danger now?

[lentulusgracchus]

[Article]
Supporters of the new law say the use of lead bullets also endangers humans who eat game killed with the ammunition.

I weep tears of bitter piteousness for all the pioneers and hunters of yore who were killed by ingesting lead from freshly-killed game .... oh, wait, they weren't.

Sorry. Just another Susan Sarandon moment.

But it’s OK to let illegals have DLs and healthcare..

And free machine guns, paid for by USG and shipped down to Mexico by MiniTrue and MiniLove.

Freedom is slavery, war is peace. Rock on.

[lentulusgracchus]

Nice to see Gov. Brown retains Americans right to shoot illegal alien invaders when the brutal Civil War starts ...

Gov. Moonbeam is on the other side. Nice to see him blink, though.

[dforest]

Recall, that is the only reason Moonbeam vetoed anything. He saw what happened in Colorado. He cares not about gun rights!

[smokingfrog]

While eating your pheasant, you might bite down on a shotgun pellet and break a tooth.

.. or something.

[KneelBeforeZod]

However it looks like the reworked hi capacity magazine ban went through. Which was targeted at old grandfathered magazines and “rebuild kits.”

Although after initial readings, I don’t see that it is written in a way that specifies you can’t sell to CA addresses. “causes to be manufactured” might be what they tried to use for selling...

Anyway after July 14 next year, even the old grandfathered magazines will be illegal it seems. I’m sure everyone will turn them in. Guess we’ll be seeing pmags for $100 again pretty quick here.

[Cementjungle]

He probably thought the bill wasn’t strong enough because it talked about “semi-automatic” weapons. He’ll figure it out eventually.

[smokingfrog]

ding .. ding .. ding — we have a winner!

[matt04]

Some multi million dollar Fed study that we paid for seems like the most logical explanation.

[Navy Patriot]

Bingo.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Doesn’t really make a difference because it was all for show. When they repeal the law that allows gun confiscations because of rumors, ex-wife or family unproven accusations, inferences from neighbors, anonymous accusations, etc. then there might be a difference. If they want your gun, they’ve got ample legal ammunition to go get it.

[Vaquero]

Be afraid be very afraid.

[TampaDude]

Yeah, but many of us have even more ammunition. ;-)

MOLON LABE!

[KneelBeforeZod]

I’m going to start a service, like hard drive destruction services. Send your 10+ magazine to me and I uh...promise it will be destroyed and metal parts will be recycled. I think I can make OK money if I only charge $5 per magazine.

[VR-21]

"While eating your pheasant, you might bite down on a shotgun pellet and break a tooth."

I can testify to that. It was a mourning dove instead of a pheasant, but I learned the hard way to carefully check my birds for shot when I clean them, and again before I cook them.

[TheDon]

The majority Rat legislature put up SB 374 to provide Brown cover when he vetoed it for all the other firearm measures he signed. Not a good day for freedom.

[KneelBeforeZod]

I expect, aside from the occasional let er rip session, most people only have 30 rd magazines for SHTF scenarios. I’m sure most of these will just continue to sit where they are. I can’t see many people turning them in. Especially since you can claim you mailed them out of state, as the bill lists as an option.

[Mark17]

Gov. Moonbeam is on the other side. Nice to see him blink, though.

You are right. He is a big time leftist. He may have blinked, because he put his finger in the air.

[Doomonyou]

He did sign the state wide lead ammo ban for hunting.

[XHogPilot]

This should do a lot to drive down the inflated prices of AR-15 clones in Calif.

That's what happens with steel shot, not lead.

The phone call from Sodom on the Potomac will be coming in shortly threatening a cut off of Fed money to KaliforniHOMOstan.

[Red in Blue PA]

Recalls have consequences.

[snuffy smiff]

And practice law.

[snuffy smiff]

Indeed. The threat worked as planned.

Now please excuse me whilst I dance a happy jig....

[gundog]

Did that on a duck. Steel shot, though.

California: Anti-Gun/Hunting Bills are both Signed into Law and Vetoed by Governor Brown Today

 

The wait is over for California’s law-abiding gun owners, sportsmen and Second Amendment supporters.  Governor Brown has signed some anti-gun bills and one anti-hunting bill into law.  However, he also vetoed several anti-gun bills.

Below is a list of the bills signed into law and vetoed as well as a link to the respective descriptions given by Governor Brown.

The NRA will be looking over all the recently signed laws and our legal options for law-abiding Californians.

Thanks to NRA members, gun owners, sportsmen and Second Amendment supporters who tirelessly called and e-mailed their state legislators and the Governor urging them to oppose all the anti-gun/hunting legislation. Without your help, the veto actions on some of the deeply flawed anti-gun bills may not have occurred.

 

Bills Enacted into law:

Assembly Bill 711 (Rendon) makes California the first state in the nation to prohibit the use of all lead ammunition for hunting.  To view Governor Brown’s signing message, click here.

Assembly Bill 231 (Ting) expands the law relating to the storage of firearms.

Senate Bill 683 (Block) expands California’s handgun safety certificate requirement to apply to all firearms, and prohibits anyone from purchasing or transferring any firearm without a firearm safety certificate.

 

Bills Vetoed:

Senate Bill 374 (Steinberg) bans the future sale or transfer of and classify ALL semi-automatic rifles with a detachable magazine or holding more than ten rounds of ammunition as "assault weapons" and the continued legal possession of these newly classified semi-automatics as “assault weapons” would require that you REGISTER and pay a FEE (TAX) on ALL of them.  To view Governor Brown’s veto message, please click here.

Assembly Bill 169 (Dickinson) limits the sale and transfer of all lawfully acquired firearms that were never, or are no longer, on the California roster of approved handguns to two a year and redefines the technical provisions of single short pistols.  To view Governor Brown’s veto message, please click here.

Senate Bill 299 (DeSaulnier) makes it a crime if a victim of firearm theft does not report the theft within seven days.  To view Governor Brown’s veto message, please click here.

Senate Bill 475 (Leno) effectively bans gun shows at the Cow Palace by requiring approval of the board of supervisors of the Counties of San Mateo and San Francisco prior to any gun shows.  To view Governor Brown’s veto message, please click here.

Senate Bill 567 (Jackson) redefines shotguns to include any firearm that may be fired through a rifled bore or a smooth bore, regardless of whether it is designed to be fired from the shoulder.  SB 567 also bans the sale of shotguns encompassed by the revised definitions that have a revolving cylinder, and requires registration of these currently owned shotguns.  To view Governor Brown’s veto message, please click here.

Senate Bill 755 (Wolk) expands the list of persons prohibited from owning a firearm, including persons who have operated cars and boats while they are impaired commonly referred to as DUI.  To view Governor Brown’s veto message, please click here.

Sad day for California Gun Owners.

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al

[dadfly]

that’s something if true. those of us calling and writing still has some effect. even in the bluest of blue states.

thanks gun owners of ca for standing up.

“He did sign the state wide lead ammo ban for hunting.”

Just when I was getting used to the taste of lead bullets and shot.

[expat2]

I guess they were too absorbed still fretting about the dangers of those iron cannon-balls to worry about lead. Anyway, they are more scared of the full-metal-jacket than the lead inside.

[Labyrinthos]

Did Gov Moonbeam grab the wrong pen while in a drug induced haze?

Brown acid vs. Green acid?

[expat2]

Can I be your subcontractor who spares you the chore of destroying the nasty things. In order to save Californian liberal lives, I’ll do it for free.

[expat2]

You need a mini metal-detector.

[Redcloak]

AB 48 will likely be challenged as an unconstitutional taking (5th Amendment). On the other hand, it’s unenforceable; so it may be a little hard to prove that it’s actually damaged someone’s rights.

[familyop]

"He did sign the state wide lead ammo ban for hunting."

If hunters react to that by ceasing all hunting, ruminant populations will increase. Predator populations will also consequently increase (more ruminants as food for predators, fewer predators hunted). So predator populations around suburbs will increase and be more hungry at times. Then more residents will eventually want to rethink the ban against lead ammunition.

[familyop]

Another consideration: less hunting, less revenues for those who want to ban freedoms.

[KneelBeforeZod]

looks like Pmags are going to be worth $120 again
