Senator Perata of Kalifornia

This jerk just implied that the NRA forced its members to break the law by not registering "assault weapons". Source: KTVU Fox news (channel 2 Bay Area). This is the same pompous a$$ who has written or sponsored MOST of the new Kalifornia antigun laws. Time to write this jerk and give him a piece of my mind!!!
 
I doubt it will do any good to write Perata. He doesn't care what you think. Blaming the NRA for the poor compliance of his pet law is his best explanation why the armed masses ignored SB-23 and the expanded Robert-Roos law. Admitting that civil disobedience on an unheard of scale is taking place in Kalifornia is a tough nut for any politician to swallow.
 
All right. I couldn't stand it. I sent this to Senator Perata, my state senator Jim Costa, and to my assemblyman Dean Florez. Costa is not much better than Perata, but Florez has been our friend on almost every gun vote.

Dear Senator Perata,

I was just informed you appeared on Fox News and blamed the National Rifle Association for the poor "assault weapons" registration compliance. Shame on you! I have been a life member of the NRA for almost fifteen years and I have never, repeat never, once seen that fine organization encourage anyone to disobey the law.

I think you are witnessing in California civil disobedience in its clearest and rawest form. One of the nation's founding fathers said that the beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will never be needed until someone tries to take it away.

What you are seeing Senator is a grassroots rebellion to your anti-gun bigotry. Californians have decided they are not going to tell you where to send the Attorney General to collect their guns.

You have been ignored. I guess that is about as tough a nut as any politician has to swallow.

I wrote him too. I didn't keep it as nice as you did :)


Mr. Perata,

I saw you imply that the NRA is responsible for the low numbers of people registering their "assault weapons". Well sir, YOU are responsible. You promote and write legislation that takes our rights away one step at a time and you expect us to comply? You sir are a communist and a liar. Don't put the blame on the NRA, YOU are the responsible party. By the way, one of your fellow senators (Diane Feinstein) carried (might still carry) a .38 special revolver, yet she tried to ban all handguns in the early eighties in San Francisco. What hypocrites you liberals are!
 
Hey, Bruce ...

... very nice letter. I never want to get you PO'ed at me. ;)


Now, with due respect, that energy and skill will do much, much more good if it is directed towards 'letters to the editor'. That can have a real impact. [A good friend bugs me about doing the same, all the time. He's right.]

Regards from AZ
 
You are waisting your time writing that SOB. I've written my senator about defeating these type of bills and opposing Perata because he is such a grandstander. MWT
 
The NRA is a business and are not responsible for doing free favors. Pereta could haved purchased advertisements in the magazines but chose not to. Too bad he's never had to work for or have run is own business. A career socialist politician.

Pereta is a POS sleeze.
 
Isn't Perata a CCW holder -- or am I thinking of another idiot?

I seem to remember an article wherein a 16-year-old girl from San Diego who is in line for Olympic competition would have had her pistol declared a restricted weapon; and she and her father could go to jail if she practiced with it; and he let her. Perata told her that she and her family should move to a more "gun friendly state" such as Texas.
 
Perata has the CCW because he has gotten so many death threats and hate mail from his pro gun constitients. He feels the need to protect himself from those who wish him harm. What a hypocrite. Wasn't there a bill passed exempting the Olympic handgun? MWT
 
Peralta not only has a CCW, but

he uses those evil magazines which hold over ten rounds in them! Oh, the indignity of it all!
 
Two things . ONE: Why doesn't the NRA file a slander suit against this guy ? He said that they TOLD people to violate the law . TWO: Had a guy at our last meeting that I never saw before . He tried to get ANYONE to tell him NOT to register . He was looking for any person there even after those in charge would not say that . He was told " The law goes into effect soon . Do what you feel is right ." He asked " Can I just take it apart and hide it in my closet ?
He was told again to do what he feels is right . He changed the scenario 5 times . Each time he wanted to be told that he shouldn't register . He was never told that . He had to be a snitch .
I would LOVE to see the lawsuit .
 
The death threats are uncalled for IMO and give legitimate gun owners a bad name. That said, Perata is a hypocrite and we must vote him out of office in the future.
