AB-50 DEFEATED!!
| Thanks to a last ditch effort by FCI and a team of pro-gun leaders, AB-50 (California's proposed ban on all .50cal rifles and ammo) was defeated today in the Senate Public Safety Committee. FCI President John Burtt traveled to Sacramento to testify and was joined by the NRA's Ed Worley, California Rifle and Pistol Association's Jerry Upholt, Gun Owners of California's Sam Paredes and Safari Club's Kathy Lynch. AB-50 had been pulled from last week's committee schedule and in the interim, FCI presented Committee members with documented expert testimonials that dispelled the ridiculous anti-gun myths put forth by the backers of the 50 ban. The bill was heard today in Committee and defeated. It is effectively dead for this session, although we expect anti-gun forces to try again next year. |
