SIGN THE PETITION TO STOP THE LATEST GUN CONTROL BILLS
The referendum to nullify the gun control bills that were recently signed by Governor Brown is gaining steam. It's not too late to sign a petition in support of this effort. Go to https://www.vetogunmageddon.org/petition-locator

If the referendum effort gathers enough signatures to qualify, the implementation of those bills, including SB 1235 (De Leon), which requires ammunition registration and effectively bans the Internet and mail order sale of ammunition, and SB 880 (Hall)/AB 1135 (Levine) , which effectively bans certain semiautomatic rifles that have the "bullet button" capability, would be suspended until the 2018 vote. Please help us help by signing the petition today.
