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

A.B. 48 (Asm. Nancy Skinner) — Bans magazine rebuild kits (including individual parts).

A.B. 169 (Asm. Roger Dickinson) — Bans transfer of handguns not on the “not unsafe handgun” roster.

A.B. 170 (Asm. Steven Bradford) — Redefines “person” for Assault Weapons permits.

A.B. 180 (Asm. Rob Bonta) — Additional firearms restrictions in Oakland. This attacks state preemption of firearms laws.

S.B. 374 (Sen. Darrell Steinberg) — Bans all semiautomatic rifles that does not have a fixed magazine, forced registration of rifles already owned. Mini-14s, M-1 carbines, semi-auto hunting rifles with detachable magazines become assault weapons! This may even effect the M1 Garand.

S.B. 475 (Sen. Mark Leno) — Eliminates gun shows at Cow Palace.

S.B. 567 (Sen. Hannah Beth Jackson) — Expands definition of shotgun to include rifled barrels and those not designed to be fired from the shoulder.

S.B. 683 (Sen. Marty Block) — Requires firearms safety certificate for purchasing any firearm.

S.B. 755 (Sen. Lois Wolk) — Expands definition of prohibited persons. Adds misdemeanors such as second DUI conviction to list of prohibiting offenses.

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, Apple Valley, CA
