SB 1384 — Letter of opposition

I am strongly opposed to SB 1384, which requires licensed firearms dealers to have a digital video surveillance system, burglary alarm system, and a keyless entry system on their premises.

AB 1227 — Letter of opposition

I am writing in strong opposition to AB 1227, which seeks to impose an excise tax on the gross receipts on the sale of all firearms, ammunition, and so-called precursor parts, purchased in the state. I oppose this bill for the following reasons:

SB 918 — Letter of opposition

I am writing in strong opposition to SB 918, which will make significant changes to Concealed Carry Weapons (CCW) procedures that will do nothing but complicate the process and increase the costs of obtaining a permit by law-abiding citizens. It is apparent that this bill is an attempt to circumvent the ruling from the United States Supreme Court in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v Bruen, which legally established California as a “shall issue” state.

Oppose CA AB-1223 — taxing gun ownership

I am writing to you today to express my opposition to AB-1223, which would impose an unjust financial burden on working-class Californians by placing a tax on firearms and ammunition sales.

Oppose CA SB-264

I am writing to you today to stand with Firearms Policy Coalition and express my opposition to California Senate Bill 264, which would prevent the use of property owned or leased by the state for the purpose of selling guns or ammunition.

Oppose CA AB 311 — ban on precursor parts at gun shows

I stand with FPC and I am writing to you today to express my opposition to California AB-311, a bill that would make participation in free trade and free association even more difficult, and without any real benefit.
