It is imperative that you VETO all gun control bills, up to and including the following:

These bills will criminalize and punish me and other law-abiding gun owners. We are peaceful, law-abiding people who want simply to exercise our Constitutionally-enumerated fundamental rights without fear of prosecution and harassment.
Don’t let California’s Legislature — openly hostile to law-abiding gun owners such as me — trample our rights, freedom, and property. Don’t let DOJ and local law enforcement confiscate my guns and put law-abiding citizens in jail. The Bill of Rights is clear: Shall not be infringed.
Don’t let these bills become law.
We are counting on you, Governor, to VETO THESE AND ALL OTHER GUN CONTROL BILLS and send a strong message to the Legislature.
Choose to defend our fundamental, Constitutionally-protected rights. Choose freedom. Choose liberty. Choose to VETO the gun control bills listed above.
Thank you very much for your time, consideration, and VETO.
Respectfully,
Greg Raven
