AB 144 Fax Drive
This bill essentially comes up every few years but since this bill almost made it, it was introduced this year and there is an attempt to remove the issues found in this bill. It bans so much that it effectively removes all your 2a rights with a few tweeks except in your home.
Right now the action items are a fax drive to members of the public safety committee. We hope to get as much registered opposition as we can against this bill.
It is time to start faxing and voicing your opposition to defend your right to self-defense. AB 144 effectivly removes your right to defend yourself in a public setting, and creates no resolution of the current problematic CCW processes.
Assembly members to fax for this first round are:
Assembly Public Safety Committee Fax (916) 319-3745
Majority Leader Charles Calderon (CA-AD-58-D) (916) 319 - 2158
Minority Leader Connie Conway, R-Tulare (916) 319-2134
Bill Sponsor Anthony Portantino (916) 319-2144
Letterhead and/or official titles are particularly important for this process. If you have access to business letterhead you could use, please use this to opposed AB 144. Individual faxes are also important so those who can do both please do.
Analysis has not been written yet. We need strong arguments!
