AB273: A Predecessor To Confiscation!
May come out of suspense file TODAY OR THURSDAY!
PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY
22 August 2000
SENATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE HEARING AUGUST 22 or 24
AB273 was greatly expanded in June to become the single most
oppressive bill to lawful firearms owners of the current legislative year.
Although its provisions are massive, its goals can be briefly summarized as
follows:
l) To make the acquisition of a handgun by anyone except law
enforcement personnel very difficult.
2) To register all handguns in California and
3) To require licensing of individuals who are "allowed" by
the government to own a handgun before one can even be acquired!
It is obvious from the debates in legislative hearings and
comments from the supporters of AB273 that if it were to become law, they
would immediately introduce follow up legislation to extend its coverage
to all rifles and shotguns as well.
AB273 is a key component of the long range goal of liberal
extremists to ban entirely the private ownership or possession of any
firearm! It is a prime example of why the elections in November are so
critically important!!

Honorable Senator ******
I am writing to urge you NOT to support AB 273. This legislation would create an extremely costly bureaucracy and unfairly penalize law abiding gun owners in California. The fiscal impact of this bill is staggering. I again urge you not to support AB 273.
Thank you for your consideration,
