Legislature Returns to the State Capitol Next Week: BEWARE!

In only a matter of days, the California Senate and the Meeting will return to the State Capitol and the ultimate legislative push will start.  Since that is an election 12 months, the 2023-2024 Session will formally shut down on August 31, which implies the Hefty Leftys will attempt to inflict as a lot harm on Californians as attainable within the area of 1 month.

GOC is armed, knowledgeable and able to go.

As we’ve reported all year long, there was a truckload of anti-Second Modification payments launched throughout this session – over 40 – and whereas there have been some actual dangerous boys within the combine, most of them have been ridiculous in idea as they merely tried to unravel an issue that didn’t exist. Though a very good variety of them appeared comparatively benign, they nonetheless chipped away at our rights, whether or not it was by way of protecting orders, security certificates modifications, or prohibited individuals.  GOC was laser centered, nonetheless, on ensuring these insignificant nuisance payments didn’t change into a plague on our rights. And – as we overview the flood of proposals launched this 12 months, we are able to’t overlook that we have been instrumental – with YOUR HELP – in emasculating Senator Anthony Portantino’s SB 1160, which required annual firearm registration – throughout the board!  We are able to say this can be a nice send-off for Tony P, as his political profession will come to a screeching halt since he’s termed out within the California Senate and misplaced his bid for Congress.

Till the politicians go house on the finish of the month, GOC can be waging struggle towards those that search to disarm us: take a look at GOC’s LEGISLATIVE ACTION CENTER for extra data on the best way to be part of us within the remaining days of the legislative session :

AB 2917 | Zbur (D)

Assemblyman Rick Zbur’s AB 2917 will increase the circumstances below which a Gun Violence Restraining Order might be issued to incorporate extremely subjective standards similar to what some may name “violent” speech.  That is problematic provided that “violent speech” – though extremely distasteful – shouldn’t be by any means thought-about “goal.”  Prefer it or not, the first Modification protects freedom of speech, even whether it is ugly.  With out query, the definition of verbal or written threats of violence is extraordinarily subjective particularly concerning the development of a “political agenda”.

AB 3064 |Maienschein (D)

AB 3064 is a “gotcha” invoice that authorizes the Division of Justice to cost an annual charge on producers who promote any firearm gadget listed on the Division’s security roster. It forces companies to pay a charge to the state for the straightforward functions of getting a firearm security gadget in the marketplace in California and if one in every of these units falls off the licensed checklist, accountable gun house owners might be charged with non-compliance!

SB 53 | Portantino (D)

Senator Portantino’s SB 53 takes the problem of obligatory storage of firearms to a brand new degree: it prohibits anybody from retaining a firearm of their house except it’s saved in a Division of Justice accredited firearm security gadget.  This isn’t a brand new problem; storage legal guidelines similar to this have been launched throughout the nation and have, in actual fact, been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court docket of the USA in Heller v DC.  The California Legislature, nonetheless, continues to ignore this choice.  Sadly, pursuing insurance policies of this nature will solely drive the State to relitigate one thing that has already been determined, which might be a expensive endeavor borne but once more by the taxpayers of California.
