SB 249, CA Sen. Leland Yee's Gun Control Bill, Seeks To Slow Bullet Reloading

Originally, Senate Bill 249 was a quiet agriculture bill that passed in*the California Senate back in May.* With sneaky back-door tactics, Senator Yee turned the bill into a gun ban monster.
SB 249, as amended, would make a small but profound change to the definition of what constitutes a detachable magazine for a semiautomatic firearm.* By doing so, hundreds of thousands of semi-automatic rifles, which were legally sold in California over the last decade, would become illegal on July 1, 2013.
The existing definition of detachable magazine was used by Governor Brown’s administration for the four years he served as Attorney General.
Senator Yee’s bill has no provisions to allow permitting, licensing or reimbursement for the loss of valuable property.* Worse yet, the bill doesn’t require a public notice program to advise owners of this change in state law.
Thousands of owners could be arrested for inadvertent violations.* If you own an affected firearm, your only choices would be to destroy it, surrender it to a law enforcement agency, sell it out of state or have it confiscated at the time of your arrest!* Which option would you prefer?
*Call*AND E-mail your state legislators TODAY and*urge them to OPPOSE SB 249
*Contact information for your state Senator can be found here.*
Contact information for your state Assembly Member can be found here.
*Also, contact Governor Jerry Brown and urge him to tell the state Legislature that he stands by the existing definition of detachable magazine,just as he did when he was Attorney General.
*Governor Brown can be reached at 916-445-2841 and by e-mail at:**http://gov.ca.gov/m_contact.php
Please forward this alert to your family, friends and fellow gun owners across California and urge them to do the same.

California is going to need EVERYONE to help fend off this attack!

I thought something like this would be illegal, at least the part of making it illegal to possess ater 2013, due to it being an ex post facto law. Even if that was the case, California doesnt have any regard to the constitution anyway

All freedom loving Americans should move out of California ASAP.

Move to swing states, where their currently wasted votes will actually mean something.

I've been all over the state from North to South. I honestly don't know how anyone can live there.

When is that big earthquake going to hit Cali so it can float off into the Pacific and become its own little nation of nut jobs?

Why should we take ourselves away from our homes - when the answer is to take out those who infringe on our rights?

Take out at the polls that is ()

This law would "prove" a few things....

1. Gun controllers want to ban all guns - a few categories at a time.
2. Registration leads to confiscation.
3. Some folks never let a crisis go to waste.

Seriously though.... let's see what the Legislature decides to do in California. They have to get it through both Houses, Governor Brown has to sign it... and THEY HAVE TO ENFORCE IT. That last bit is going to be very very difficult to do.
