City of Los Angeles Public Safety Committee Meeting
200 N. Main Street Room 315
Los Angeles, CA
Monday, December 6 10:00 AM

Ordinance Number 99-1581

Key provisions:
No person shall purchase, sell, give or otherwise transfer ownership of any firearm
ammunition whether assembled cartridges or component parts of cartridges.
No person shall purchase, sell, give or otherwise transfer ownership of any firearm
ammunition loading device.

The gun-grabbers have found a new way to take away your rights! These bureaucrats are trying to
sneak around state and federal laws by denying YOU ammunition and reloading components.

First, you can't get any ammunition at all. You can't buy it, you can't borrow it and you can't make it.
You'd better not have any reloading components, such as bullets, primers or powder in the City of
Los Angeles, or you become one of the bad-guys. Yup, you could wind up in a jail cell with the real
bad-guys because you overlooked that spent cartridge case under the sofa.

I am reminded of the hapless traveller who crossed the border into Mexico with a box of .22s and
spents weeks in jail. How would the same traveller fare in Los Angeles? The thought is frightening.
Sadly, an empty cartidge case that would cause a shrug of the shoulders south of the border, could
send you to jail in Los Angeles. Is it possible, in the land of the free, to envy the rights of citizens
in Mexico?

Finally, you can kiss your Dillon goodbye. Oh, they'll let you keep it for awhile, but it won't do much
good without any reloading components. But when you run out of bullets, primers, powder and
brass, don't even consider giving it to your brother in Iowa, because that would be breaking the law.
I suppose you could create a new table lamp with your Dillon, because that's about all the law will let
you do. On the one hand, a Dillon Lamp would be rather ugly, but on the other, it's a sure bet that they
won't let you keep your Dillon around long enough for you to notice.

If this ordinance passes the "Safety Committee", it will go to the full city council for a vote. I urge you
to act now, in the name of sanity, to show these bureaucrats that responsible gun owners care
about their rights (especially the right to vote).

Let your voice be heard!

Boys Persuade Panel to Back Ban on Ammo Sales;


The three-martini lunch is probably not a weapon in the arsenal of lobbyists Niko and Theo Milonopoulos. They are, after all, 12 years old.
Still, the fraternal twins from Studio City got their career off to a good start this week when they persuaded the Los Angeles Police Commission to pass a measure
calling on the City Council to ban all sales of gun ammunition in the city.
The two had been lobbying for the measure since the North Hollywood bank shootout in 1997 and the murder of Ennis Cosby. Those events scared them, they said,
so they collected 7,000 signatures of young people demanding the ammunition ban.
"It's time to stop the shooting of L.A. kids," Theo told the Police Commissioners.

After their pitch, the commission voted 3 to 2 Tuesday in favor of the ban. Opponents said it would violate gun rights and would simply force gun owners to buy their
ammunition in other Southland cities.

Commission President Gerald Chaleff, who supported the ban, conceded that it might never be effective. "But sometimes making a statement is enough," he said.

The boys, who are students at Campbell Hall in North Hollywood, said the victory was sweet, even if it was just the first small step toward passage of the ban.

"It has been said that children will lead the way," activist Joy Turner told the commission. "I say, lead on, Theo and Niko."

Only because the adults don't have the "cajones" to do what is right...
