NEWTOWN, Conn --(Ammoland.com)- On Monday, the Assembly Committee on Revenue and Taxation will hear testimony pertaining to Assembly Bill 760 (Dickinson) that seeks to impose a sales tax of .05 cents per ammunition component (complete cartridge, bullet or case) in an already sparse environment for ammunition.
Then on Tuesday the committee process will be in full swing when the focus is on numerous anti-gun bills. First the California Assembly Committee on Water, Parks and Wildlife will hear AB 711, a bill introduced by Assembly member Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood). If passed and signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, this bill would extend the now limited Condor range ban on traditional lead ammunition to the entire state. The ban could go into effect as soon as the 2016 hunting season. All of us who hunt may as well get used to paying exorbinant amounts for ammunition.
Also on Tuesday, if what has already been proposed is not horrible enough the Senate Committee on Public Safety will be taking up some of the most restrictive pieces of gun legislation proposed in California. The bills range from Senate Bill 293 (DeSaulnier) which bans the sale of conventional handguns, and implements “Owner Authorized – Smart” handgun technology to Senate Bill 374 (Steinberg) which expands the definition of “assault weapons” to ban the future sale of almost all semi-auto rifles (including rimfire) that accept a detachable magazine.
You can contact legislators here urging them to OPPOSE the anti-gun bills listed above.
