Stanford University law professor Robert Weisberg, an expert on gun laws, says it's unlikely that the California legislature would endorse Saldaña’s bill. “The great majority from both political parties don’t want to cross the gun lobby,” he says.
The best way of ensuring the accuracy of that last statement is by making it so. I read that acc to FBI estimates, there are 90,000,000 gun owners in America. Only about 4,000,000 are members of the NRA yet look at the power we have. (Yes, "we" since the NRA is a member-led organization that means that "
I'm the NRA!") Imagine if we could get only 10% of all US gun owners to join the NRA and get politically tied-in and active. That would more than double our size and we'd be UNSTOPPABLE! ! ! We'd get a pro-RKBA US Senate in 2010 that would stop any anti legislation, treaties, or fed court/SCOTUS justices! Even in CA/PRK, anti legislation would die in committee.
If you want/need to know what you can individually do to increase our political clout in this state, both long and short term, ck out my posting at:

where I list 16 things
YOU can do to protect our 2nd A RKBA in CA (assuming SCOTUS will acknowledge them via
Heller-
McDonald). That's where I'm focusing my ever limited time, money, and effort during the "stand-down."
