SACRAMENTO – -(Ammoland.com)- Today, Firearms Policy Coalition announced its opposition to a new gun control bill that would expand the reach of California’s ban on so-called “assault weapons” to all semi-automatic centerfire rifles with detachable magazines, including “Bullet Button”-equipped firearms.
Assembly Bill 1663, authored by California Assemblyman David Chiu (D-San Francisco), is sponsored by Attorney General Kamala Harris. Harris is running to replace Barbara Boxer in the United States Senate against Rep. Loretta Sanchez and a number of Republican challengers.
Other recent attempts to expand California’s “assault weapons” ban failed passage in the Legislature or were vetoed by Governor Jerry Brown. Senator Leland Yee, the author of one such bill, pleaded guilty last July after being indicted on federal corruption and gun trafficking charges.
“Assembly Bill 1663 is yet another misguided attack on the civil rights of law-abiding Californians,” said Brandon Combs, president of Firearms Policy Coalition. “In the wake of a deadly terrorist attack on our soil, fringe San Francisco elitists like Assemblyman Chiu and Attorney General Harris would rather put innocent people in jail than face up to their own failed policies.”
In her press release announcing AB 1663, Attorney General Harris bragged that “over the last two years,” her Department of Justice “doubled the average number of guns seized annually.”
“We knew coming into the 2016 legislative cycle that anti-gun California Democrats would follow President Obama’s lead and wage war on law-abiding gun owners,” noted Combs. “This might be their opening shot, but we’ve defeated assaults like AB 1663 before.”
“Ultimately, the democratic process is bigger than the Attorney General’s dangerous agenda, and so are constitutionally protected rights like the right to keep and bear arms.”
Concluded Combs, “The Second Amendment is just so crystal clear, there is no debate, no discussion.”

If anyone believes that the current actions of the elected officials are in the publics best interest are fooling themselves. These are the same people that think the Civil War of 1860-1865 was fought over one issue alone, slavery. Nothing could actually be further from the truth. The War Between the States began because the South demanded States’ rights and was not getting them. After the Battle of Antietam in September 1862, when Abraham Lincoln decided to free the slaves in the Confederate States in order to “punish” those states for continuing the war effort. The war had been in… Read more »

“Safe and Sane” Prop Gun Firearms Act I strongly urge everyone in Cali to force the Movie Industry to follow the same gun laws. If you could add that simple law, the next gunfight will show clips of 10 rounds being swapped out with bullet button legal tools. Such a movie would be funny to watch as the grandfathered AR or AK from the 1980’s go up against a 10 round bullet button AR. I am very serious that you all should push such an amendment on the next new set of annual gun laws your government passes every year.… Read more »
“California legislators would follow Obamas lead , and wage war on gun owners” . Stand by for a major reversal coming soon, I think! Armed Americans waging war on leftist Democrats and Rhinos. There that’s better ! Yes ,and mark my words they are bringing it to bear !
The Hell with a vote; let’s just put D. Trump in office by Executive Action! That seems to be the only way BHO gets his way, so it must be legal!
That border fence Trump wants to build needs to outline California.
Any questions???
Hey Cody, why not? We’ve already given them the Panama Canal….
It’s amazing! Those politicians who would deny us the right to defend ourselves, our families, our neighbors and our country, have glazed over eyes when it comes to providing Iran, a declared enemy of our country, with $150 billion. That money will allow them to purchase the a wide assortment of advanced, sophisticated weaponry that will ultimately be used to kill Israelis and Americans.
Take your pick. This is either a profoundly evil group, or a devastatingly stupid one. In either case, they must be gotten rid of in the next election.
PLEASE VOTE THIS YEAR!!!
O.K. Donald Trump has some rough edges. But do you really want Hillary Clinton to be your President? E-mails on an unauthorized server, Bengazi, early resignation, etc.. We do not trust her. Absentee ballots count, too. Now more than EVER, your vote counts!!!!
