California –-(Ammoland.com)- Following a number of Twitter and Facebook posts by CAL-FFL and its supporters earlier today, California gubernatorial candidate Neel Kashkari told the association that he “would veto” the four gun control bills on Governor Jerry Brown’s desk.

In a February presentation to students at Cal State Sacramento, Mr. Kashkari made perplexing statements on the polarizing topic of gun laws, comments that the gun rights community largely viewed as “uneducated.” As reported by CalNewsroom.com’s John Hrabe, Kashkari’s follow-up comments to gun rights supporters “caused a firestorm…among California’s grassroots gun activists.”

But CAL-FFL President Brandon Combs says that Kashkari’s apparently hard-line stance against the gun bills passed by the Legislature this year is a change for the better.

“Neel Kashkari’s views on Second Amendment civil rights has been a trying experience for us, to say the least,” noted Combs. “However, we’re certainly encouraged by his new position and welcome the move towards embracing fundamental individual liberties. Perhaps Mr. Kashkari took my advice after all.”

All four bills — SB 808, AB 1014, AB 1609, and SB 199 — will become state law unless Governor Brown vetoes them before the end of this month.

Just remember Gerry Brown vetoed critical bills last year, and passed a couple that could be construed as viable. But Kashkari made a point to suggest if you wanted a candidate that will support pro gun, you should vote for someone else.

Who would vote for someone with a name that sounds like an ‘organic breakfast cereal’? Oh wait! – this is California!

Gun rights are low on Kashkari’s priority list and I would not expect him to spend ANY political capital to oppose gun control bills should he become Governor. He strikes me as a typical politician who’s values “match” the group he’s speaking to. Hold your nose and vote for him if you must but don’t think he’s even a lukewarm supporter of 2A rights.

Kashkari is grasping for votes he desperately needs to win. Six months ago he didn’t give a damn about supporting the 2nd Amendment. But now he’s down to the short hairs in this election and he cannot win without the gun owners support. I think he would assign himself trans-gender status if that would help.
