I took the time to read the bills and yes, they really are bad legislation. I faxed the governor the letter below.<\/p>\n
Governor Schwarzenegger
\nState Capitol Building
\nSacramento, CA 95814
\nFax: 916-558-3160
\nSeptember 22, 2009<\/p>\n
Governor Schwarzenegger,<\/p>\n
Please do not allow AB962 or SB585 to pass.<\/p>\n
First, SB585. Why the heck would a law be written specifically to deny lawful trade at a specific location? Criminals don\u2019t buy firearms at the Cow Palace. Law abiding citizens buy and sell legal products, fully keeping with appropriate law. Do you remember Proposition H which tried to ban handguns in San Francisco? Even the San Francisco police took a strong stand against this proposition! It was a great bother and waste of resources to force the California Supreme Court to nullify that proposition.<\/p>\n
AB962. Its goal is to make it more expensive and more of a pain in the ass for legitimate gun owners to buy and sell ammunition. Why? There is no problem in America with legal gun owners or their ammunition. Criminals don\u2019t buy their guns at gun stores.<\/p>\n
Guns are dangerous, it\u2019s true. And they will always be \u201cproblematic\u201d but these two laws do not help anyone. They might make law makers feel better, but they won\u2019t protect anyone from gun violence.<\/p>\n
Thank you for your time,
