65,000 Letters Ask California Governor to Veto Anti-Gun Bills
On October 3rd, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) Managing Director Brandon Combs, joined by California Association of Federal Firearms Licensees (CAL-FFL) Legislative Advocate Craig DeLuz, delivered 65,000 letters from individuals urging California Governor Jerry Brown to veto the 14 gun control bills currently on his desk. The gun bills include SB 374, a sweeping ban on semi-automatic rifles, as well as laws that would ban firearm repair parts, handgun sales, lead ammunition for hunting, and exempt the City of Oakland from longstanding state laws that preempt dangerous localized gun registration schemes, among others. SB 374 outlaws virtually all self-loading centerfire rifles with detachable magazines, regardless of magazine capacity. Even common hunting rifles with 3-rd flush mags are banned.
“65,000 letters sends a very loud-and-clear message: Californians just don’t want these horrible new laws,” said CAL-FFL’s DeLuz of the tremendous response by California gun owners. FPC’s Brandon Combs said that that the fight is far from over and noted that people should keep calling and writing the Governor’s office every day. “We encourage all gun owners and Second Amendment supporters to send Governor Brown a letter through our fast, easy, and free gun rights activism tools at www.DemandRights.com.” “We will keep printing, faxing, and emailing letters to Governor Brown until the very end,” continued Combs. “Gun owners simply must keep up the pressure for these final few days.” Governor Brown has until October 14, 2013 to sign or veto the bills. Bills that are not vetoed will become state law. Governor Brown’s State Capitol office phone number is (916) 445-2841. You can email the Governor via this webpage: http://govnews.ca.gov/gov39mail/mail.php.

Not much of a showing.
65,000 divided by 38,000,000 equals 0.00171 percent!
65,000 sends no message at all.
Actually, its .171 percent, but you are correct in that it won’t affect their anti-constitutional laws. It shouldn’t even be legally possible for these laws to be passed. It is truly a shame to see the progressives make things progressively worse for those who believe in the values that this country was founded on.
The thing that this number should,and probably will be compared to is the number of letters and emails that have been received about other controversial issues. I have written the governor expressing my strong opposition to a number of newly proposed gun laws, have you? If you are unwilling to put out any effort to defend our rights, then IMO you should be as quiet about the results of your inactivity. Making a lot of noise about this, around your gun buddies, counts for nothing. To have any effect at all, you need to identify and contact your state assemblyman,senator, and the governor, every time something really stupid starts to gain any momentum. It seems that we are blessed with an extreme oversupply of legislators that seem to believe that they can influence criminal behavior by simply waving pieces of paper at them.
