Sen. Yee seeks to ban all Bullet Button/maglocked firearms!

For Immediate Release: August 7, 2012 

SENATOR YEE AMENDS SB 249 INTO A MASSIVE, UNCONSTITUTIONAL GUN BAN
 
CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL KAMALA HARRIS ENDORSES SB 249 REQUIREMENT TO USE DETACHABLE MAGAZINE FIREARMS
 
Reference: SB 249 Fact Sheet at http://stopsb249.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/sb249_fact_sheet1.pdf
 
SAN CARLOS, CA, AND MADERA, CA – In an egregious and deliberate move to ban hundreds of thousands of legal firearms and harm law-abiding California gun owners, California Senator Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) has amended his bill SB 249 to make possession of all Bullet Button, or “maglocked”, firearms a criminal act as of July 1, 2013.  Sen. Yee’s chief-of-staff, Adam Keigwin, has said that California should ban all guns, even bolt-action hunting rifles.
 
Joining Senator Yee in his effort to take away hundreds of millions of dollars of currently-legal guns are co-authors Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), Senator Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles), Senator Loni Hancock (D-Berkeley), Senator Ted Lieu (D-Torrence), Assemblyman Anthony Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge), and Assemblyman Mike Feuer (D-Los Angeles).
 
Explaining his support for the gun ban, Senator Steinberg told the Sacramento Bee that “no one will convince me it's anything other than a joke to say that having multiple clips and semi-automatic weapons that can shoot 100 or more bullets at a time is necessary in this state or in this country. It’s ridiculous."
 
Also on record as supporting SB 249, the Los Angeles Times reports Attorney General Kamala Harris as saying, “I applaud the Legislature's interest in addressing this problem and support efforts to pass legislation needed to" [ban Bullet Button firearms].
 
SB 249, if it were to become law, would categorically ban all “maglocked” semi-automatic firearms that are in common use, such as those which use the Bullet Button device.  SB 249 does not provide for any grandfathering of existing firearms nor does it have a method of compensating gun owners for the firearms the proposed law would require to be destroyed or removed from California.  The net effect would be what is perhaps the single largest unconstitutional government taking in California history.
 
More, SB 249 would subject gun owners to criminal liability as of July 1, 2013, for the mere possession of firearms that Senator Yee and Attorney General Harris have both said are legal under current law.  Ex post facto laws, such as SB 249 would create if passed, are expressly unconstitutional.
 
Interestingly, however, SB 249 would create a de facto requirement that gun owners , hunters, and competitors in California use only “featureless” firearms, such as AR and AK-style guns employing compliance parts like the Solar Tactical KYDEX Grip Wraps, MonsterMan Grips, or Exile Machine’s Hammerhead Grip, which not only allow for the lawful use of factory magazine releases but large-capacity magazines as well.  California does not ban the possession of large-capacity magazines.  Wes Morris, owner of Ten Percent Firearms, demonstrates this is an excellent YouTube video you can view at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhC8LpHPbRQ.
 
Senator Yee’s bill is currently before the Assembly Appropriations Committee and is expected to be heard on August 15, though it could be heard as soon as August 8.  The bill must pass both the Assembly and the Senate by August 31.

Fuck this state and if you come to my house looking for an AR I have registered in CA I'm gonna tell you it was stolen. They can TRY and search my house all they want, but aren't gonna find anything illegal in my home.

That's the exact same thing my cop brother said too. It's only going to hurt legal gun owners and the company's who manufacture the parts..... Think of how many people are gonna get laid off when Ca gun owners quit buying AR parts/rifles.

^ I won't turn mine either Dana. Like I said if they wanna come and try to take my AR lowers I'll tell them they were stolen. If they can't find them in my home they can't prove or disprove I'm lying about it.

Don't sit there for one second and think to yourself "oh this doesn't have any chance of passing" Take action right now! Look at the already ridiculous laws regulating law abiding citizens firearms in this state. That's exactly how they were passed. Law abiding citizens did nothing, or not enough to stop the government from taking away our rights.

These fucks are retarded. They are constantly talking about crimes rates increasing...well this is just another form of illegal activity criminals will engage in. Plus, if banned the underground market will grow=more crime. Like Neight said, it wont stop the flow of illegal guns coming in, I think it will fuel the desire to bring more.


I really want to know how these fucks think, were they sheltered their whole life and never got beat up or what.

They don't have to think. They live in a completely sheltered world. They make many times the income that most families do, and live in neighborhoods with no crime. In addition they work in places that have a ton of armed trained security, so of course they don't have anything to worry about. They don't need firearms because everyone surrounding them has firearms.

The 2nd amendment:

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Where in the 2nd amendment deos it say that you can have a detachible high capacity magazine?

Where in the 2nd amendment deos it say that you have the right to own a grenade launcher, a tank, a machine gun or a bazooka?

The point is that that even though under the constitution we can own a fire arm, there are limits as to what type of fire arms we can own.

In the wake of the tragic mass shootings as in Arizona where a gunman with a high capacity fire arm killed several people and critically injured scores more, including a Congress woman; would that Arizona gunman have been able to kill and injure
So many people with out a 20+ round capacity fire arm? No.

It is time to take a serious look at our gun laws that in many states are to lax.

By the way, the term " regulated" is in the second amendment and with americans getting sick and tierd of these slime ball right wing gun nuts committing mass kilings,one can only hope that more gun regulation is comming.

At the time the constitution was written there weren't high capacity AR-15's and Ak's so what is your point? It's obvious that gun laws don't prevent criminals from killing people and the right wing gun nut killed how many people last year in comparison to the gang member, drug dealer or conviced felon who all cannot legally own guns with all the laws that are already n the books?

Un-tuck your cock and trade your Mustang in for a Nissan Queef!

Not you again [Roll Eyes] Liberals can suck my nuts. You best hope you never find yourself in a situation where you'll need a gun. If they ban guns crime is going to sky rocket, home invasions, car jackings, rapes, robberies will all go through the roof. It's not going to stop a criminal from owning a gun because they do ILLEGAL shit and only care about themselves, not the person their robbing.

Anyhow I'll never give up any of my guns, EVER. I like the fact that I can protect my property and family, not lie down like a bitch and let a criminal do whatever they want.

Shit you guys posted so quick my look above arrow is 2 posts off
^ that is a very myopic view point. There are many guns outlawed already and mostl law abiding citizens do not posses them ( I could care less if they did.), but you can be sure as shit criminals got their hands on them. Regulation is always fucked; drugs, guns, taxes there will always been people that will not conform, and most of the time I think good for them. So, if it passed Wildfire, slowback either become criminals or conform ( which is bullshit), and you can be sure as shit everyone criminal or not with an unregistered firearm that fits the bill isn't going to voluntarily hand them over.

A "well regulated militia" simply means the people. The 2nd amendment guarantees our right to never be disarmed by law. If law enforcement/military need a certain set of weapons than we the people should be able to have an equal amount of weapons. The day that law enforcement/military do not need/use firearms is the day that I might consider not needing mine. I would consider that for less than a second then remember that our nation was built largely by firearms in the public hands. If the firearms in the public are removed then you have no choice but to obey whatever the government tells you to do and you have absolutely no say in anything. This is one of many reasons that the 2nd amendment was put in place.

If you wish to live in a place like this then move to somewhere that firearms are banned and the government thinks for you. Until then I agree with the post above. Sell your Mustang and buy a Nissan, or Toyota since you don't like to excersize your rights given to you by the Constitution of The United States of America. I'm sure there is something that is not a legal modification on your car, so at the very least you should go turn yourself in for that and take your punishment from the government.

The guy in Arizona wasn't a right wing tea party member. He was a registered dem. Matter of fact not one of these recent shootings involved any member of the tea party or any affiliation with the Republican party.

If you really wanna stop crimes and want to single out a large group of people then I'd suggest taking every gun from the registered Democrats.
Think about it...... A large majority of crime is committed by African American males. That being said 95% of the African American population in America voted Democrat in 2008's election.

I bet crimes commited with a firearm would drop off the map if you took every gun, registered or not registered away from every single person that votes democrat in every election.

Who cares about the constitutionality of if. Just think of all the innocent lives we could save by not allowing democrats to own guns period!!!!!

A militia deos not simply mean the people; a militia refers to a well regulated army.


"This desirable uniformity can only be accomplished by confiding the regulation of the militia to the direction of the national authority. It is, therefore, with the most evident propriety, that the plan of the convention proposes to empower the Union "to provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by congress."

By the way, i am not talking about banning guns, all I am saying is that the time has come to regulate fire arms even more.

it is madness that Republicans want to regulate porn and abortions, but not guns.

There are limitations, I can't go out and purchase an AT4, I wish I could but that's not happening. To own a fully auto you have to go through the ATF for a class III which is extensive and takes awhile, after you've received your class III the ATF can come to your house whenever they please. I can go out right now and purchase a firearm off of a guy in a parking lot, I've done it numerous times and will continue to do it. The government does not need to know which weapons I have, it doesn't benefit them to know.

You do know that the Federal AWB did not ban anything other than the new manufacture of assault weapons with certain features and hi-cap mags. Anything manufactured prior to the ban was still able to be bought and sold like any other gun. Also, manufacturers were still able to make and sell the same functional firearms such as AKs and ARs, but just without "evil features" like a barrel shroud or a bayonet lug. Essentially the ban banned nothing. The Government cannot simply ban possession of legally purchased items and simply come confiscate them. We still have the 5th and 14th Amendments.

You either have the right, or you don't there is no middle ground. I agree there are certain people that should not be allowed anywhere near a firearm, but our right as americans is to keep and bear arms. If you ban all firearms then everyone with arms will be a criminal by law. I will not give up any of my firearms even if they were going to pay me twice what I paid for them. There are millions more that will join me in the revolution against tyranny.

As someone else has said. Typically by the time
the vast majority of Americans have got up and made their way to work they have broken at least one law, most likely a few laws. We already have far too many laws regulating what we can and cannot do. We do not need more.

Just the other day I was pulled over by a Sheriff because I drove my car around a pot hole. He made me pop my hood, asked what modifications I have done(any and all of my modifications are CARB certified), asked me how many tickets I have(zero)
then proceeded to harass me on why I was driving "erratically" by simply avoiding a huge pot hole in the road. This type of harassment has happened to me on more than one occasion. I was never issued a ticket because I hadn't even broken any laws.

If you wish to have further harassment then keep saying we need more laws to be "safe". In case you havent noticed law enforcement is no longer obligated to protect you in times of distress. Just look at their patrol cars they no longer say "to protect and serve" they just say something like "service with concern" when/if someone invades this country do you think they are going to do so with rifles that have fixed magazines, bullet buttons, and 10 round magazines? Do you think the police, and military are going to come save your family?

Additionally criminals do not buy guns from gun stores. They get them from the black market and always will. Even law enforcement has been caught selling weapons to criminals.

I am 100% behind having no gun laws, but even I would be behind laws that stiffen penalties for criminals using firearms during the commission of crimes, or for even having a firearm at all. If a criminal(previous felon) knew they would be possibly serving life in prison for having a firearm on them at any time they just might think twice about having a firearm. Stiffen criminal penalties, not ban firearms from law abiding, tax paying, hard working Americans. Use some common sense.

You do know that the Federal AWB did not ban anything other than the new manufacture of assault weapons with certain features and hi-cap mags. Anything manufactured prior to the ban was still able to be bought and sold like any other gun. Also, manufacturers were still able to make and sell the same functional firearms such as AKs and ARs, but just without "evil features" like a barrel shroud or a bayonet lug. Essentially the ban banned nothing. The Government cannot simply ban possession of legally purchased items and simply come confiscate them. We still have the 5th and 14th Amendments.
I thought the Federal ban just grandfather in pre-ban weapons meaning you couldn't ever sell your gun and when you die you can't give it away in your will it has to be destroyed, or is that only in CA?

California is the only state that doesn't allow the transfer of AW's. Even NJ and NY allow the sale of pre-ban firearms like the Fed AWB did. A little interesting tid-bit of information the anti's either don't know or refuse to acknowledge that their bans do nothing.

Well the real reason for the bans is to slowy take away the 2nd amendment al together. They know if they tried to do it all at one time it wouldn't work. But if you just take away something a little bit at a time..... It's easier to do.
This law is suppost to be about public safety...... It's really all about the politicians safety to do whatever they want..... And make it harder to fight back about it.

Americans are getting tired of all these mass shootings and all of you gun blasting right wing lunatics better get used to tougher gun laws, because they are coming.

As it is now, our nation's gun laws are too loose and lax. At minimum, super extensive back ground checks and gun registration need to be in place. Did you know that Americans on the terrorist have still been able to buy guns? That is just crazy.

I laugh at the paranoid gun nuts that think tougher gun laws will take away their freedom and librety away from them.

So let me ask you this, you gun blasting FOX news watching fools, if the government deos something you don't like, are you going to take care of it with your gun?

With Cho (Virginia Tech), Loughner (arizona), and Holmes (colorado), all three showed mental issues that would have prevented them from purchasing a firearm. Those laws have been in place for a long time. The problem is not enough laws, but a failure of the system. Cho's medical history was never loaded into the system that the NiCS background system checks. Had it been, he would have been denied the purchase. Loughner and Holmes both had visible problems that apparently lots of people knew about but failed to act.

Also, California already has mandatory registration for all assault weapons and handguns purchases after 2000. Starting in 2013 (I think) all new purchases of rifles and shotguns will be registered. I would really like to know though, how you figure registration would prevent a tragedy like the three I mentioned when the system itself is at fault for failing to prevent the firearm from being purchased?

Also, I admire your willingness to prevent guns from falling into the hands of criminals. You should write to your Congressmen and Senators and tell them you want justice for all of the Assault Weapons our government KNOWINGLY sold to Mexican cartels with zero oversight in Operation Fast and Furious.

1) murder is illegal

what makes you think that someone who is going to commit a felony, and a mortal sin....will turn in their guns because now...they will breaking just one more law and well...that might stop them


im sorry....but if your gonna go there...you need to ban baseball bats, knives, etc

2 days ago son...... 2 victims

oh...didnt some guy drive over a bunch of kids too ????

why didnt they do a background check on him before selling him a car, and make him go through a 5 day waiting period??

THATS BULL SHIT !!! those crimes could be prevented

cali is a pretty agricultural rich state isnt it ?

i also vote to outlaw fertilizer and diesel fuel, and rental trucks

since you know.....that IS what blew up the mcnamara building

oh yeah...and cameras, it should be illegal to smoke in your house, cuz although you have some rights to a free society , no one gives you the right to murder your children by cancer and/or by introducing carcinogens to their bodies

oh wait...why stop there

fast food and sugar should be illegal too

since well.....more people die of heart disease from obesity than by gunfire

think about what you say before you sound like a complete idiot

and what do mean regulate more ??? like make shooting someone illegal, like tacking on a 4 year felony to ANY gun related crime ? with no parole possible for that crime ?

so your saying guns arent regulated ?

pay close attention to section 11, im SURE youve never seen a form 4473 before...so take your time, and read it all

remember there is a FBI background check called in AFTER these questions are answered

http://www.atf.gov/forms/download/atf-f-4473-1.pdf


EXACTLY WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT !!!!!!!!!

someone with a medicinal card cant even buy a gun

look at #11E

although marijuana is legal under some states...this is a FEDERAL form

so anybody with a medicinal card is an "unlawful user"

and technically that same person is NOT allowed in the same house with a gun owner

is the type of regulation you seek to GROW YET EVEN MORE ?????

Worse than some dummy with an AR shooting up a movie theater and kills 12 people, our government sells countless assault weapons to organized crime and kills thousands. This is what you should be up in arms about cobraracer46. This is where the change needs to occur. Why is it that the government refuses to release these documents?

House sues Holder in Fast and Furious gunwalking case

A House committee filed suit against Attorney General Eric Holder Monday in federal court. The suit attempts to force Holder to turn over key documents relating to the Justice Department's Fast and Furious gunwalking program during the Bush and Obama administrations, when as many as 1,000 guns ended up in the hands of Mexican cartels in a botched attempt to capture higher-ups in the organizations.

Today from calguns. This bill is being voted on in appropriations this Thursday!!! Let's get a move on to oppose this waste of time bill!

ATTENTION CALGUNNERS!!!

TAKE ACTION TO STOP SB249!!



It’s time to step up and take action, SB 249, a bill written to outlaw fixed magazine centerfire rifles that could easily lead to uncompensated seizure of your lawfully purchased rifle MUST BE STOPPED!

Every one of us needs to be a part of this effort to stop the banning and confiscation of arms that SB 249 represents, none of us can sit on the sidelines and hope everyone else does it for them.

I ask you to indulge me in a little bit of history.

In the late 1700’s communities stored their gun powder, musket balls and even muskets in a strong brick building called a ‘Powder House’ on the edge of town, close to hand but safely away from their homes, because keeping gun powder in a home lit and heated by open flame was dangerous. In April of 1775 British troops sought to seize those Powder Houses and confiscate what they had declared to be ‘illegal arms’, the personal weapons of individual citizens.

Our Founding Fathers stood up and said ‘NO!’

Today we are faced with legislation that attempts to do the very thing the British tried to do 235 years ago, outlaw the personal weapons of American citizens and confiscate them without even token compensation. Unlike our Founding Father we have a voice that we can make heard by our Legislators and we need to raise that voice now, loudly and in unison.

On Thursday, August 16th, 2012, Senator Yee’s bill, SB 249 will be heard by the Appropriations Committee and there it will be decided whether this bill is voted on by our State Legislators. As of 12:01AM Monday morning we have roughly 80 hours to make our voices heard and to stop this bill in the Appropriations Committee.



This is why we are launching the ’80 Hours for Freedom’ campaign.

80 hours to contact Senator Yee and the members of the Appropriations Committee. We will, with your help, be inundating these Legislators with a different means of contact each day asking them to oppose SB 249.

Monday by sending letters by Mail that will arrive between Tuesday and Wednesday.

Tuesday by phone calls to their offices.

Wednesday by emails flooding their inboxes.

Thursday by sending faxes, keeping their fax machines running from dawn to dusk.

Follow this link, www.calguns.net/249 and click on the day of the week for that days action and a listing of the Appropriation Committee members and their addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and fax numbers as well as short, simple and direct letters you can print, sign and mail, fax and copy in to emails. If you choose to write your own message, remember to keep it polite, concise and to the point, stick to the facts and again, remain polite.

Our Founding Fathers said ‘No!’ to the banning and confiscation of privately owned firearms, now it’s time for us to follow in their footsteps and do the same.

Please join us in making this a week that our Legislators will not forget.

SB 249 has grown into a huge gun ban bill.

The way I'm reading and understanding it is basically this...

If you own a rifle that has a detachable magazine it will be illegal if this bill passes. This isn't just mag magnets, or bullet buttons anymore. This is every single rifle that has a magazine that is removable without having to take the rifle apart. This means AR's, AK's, Mini 14, Ruger 10/22, Keltec SU16, Springfield M1A, M1 Carbine, the list goes on and on.

go here to help in any way you possibly can
www.calguns.net/249
stopsb249.org

This bill will be voted in appropriations this Thursday the 16th. We need to call, email, fax, send USPS letters in opposition NOW!

I just got done calling every single member of appropriations. I sent them all USPS letters yesterday. I noticed a trend. Every Republican stated that they were voting NO on this bill, while every Democrat just took my name and info. Some of them(democrats) hung up on me, some were rude, some were sarcastic. The main problem is that there are 13 Democrats, and only 5 Republicans. To me this means they can do anything they want. Let them know the public opposes!

got this in an email from the Calguns foundation this morning:

SB 249 MAY BE D.O.A.; STOP SB 249 CAMPAIGN URGES CONTINUED OPPOSITION PRESSURE

Cal-FFL, Calguns Foundation opposition letters cited in official Committee analysis that may be the final straw in breaking SB 249

For Immediate Release: August 14, 2012

Reference: Assembly Appropriations Committee Analysis at http://stopsb249.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/sb249_approps_analysis.pdf

SAN CARLOS, CA, AND MADERA, CA – In spite of bill author Senator Leland Yee’s many assurances to the contrary, even the Assembly Appropriations Committee legislative analysis found that the SB 249 gun ban presents California taxpayers with significant cost impacts.

The analysis determined that, among other major costs, SB 249 would impose “[o]ne-time special fund (Dealer Record of Sale Fund- DROS) costs, likely in excess of $200,000 (the AG's office estimates about $400,000), for the AG to conform existing regulations regarding the definition of assault weapon to the definition of detachable magazine proposed by this bill.”

Implicit in the Committee’s analysis is that SB 249 is a material legislative change to the Penal Code, which would require new DOJ regulations. Senator Yee and his staff have spent considerable time representing SB 249 to be a “clarification of existing law.” We now have further evidence in the Legislative record supporting our argument that SB 249 would harm California gun owners by creating an entirely new standard for “detachable magazine” firearms.

Up-to-the-minute information acquired by Cal-FFL lobbyist Matt Gray of Capital Alliance and Cal-FFL president Brandon Combs suggests that, while SB 249 may not succeed in passing the Appropriations Committee due to the substantial costs issues, it is premature to consider the bill a non-threat to gun rights.

“SB 249 has been proven to be an outrageous attack on hundreds of millions of dollars of legal private property and law-abiding gun owners. We’re encouraged that the Appropriation Committee’s analysis has affirmed our view that California simply cannot afford Senator Yee’s misguided bill,” said Combs. “We urge all of our members and supporters to continue vigorously opposing SB 249 by calling the members of the Appropriations Committee and using the Take Action tools at our StopSB249.org campaign website.”

The STOP SB 249 Take Action page is located at at http://stopsb249.org/takeaction.

LATEST STOP SB 249 HEADLINES & UPDATES

Chris Cheng, History Channel's Top Shot season 4 champ and a truly awesome person, joined Stop SB 249 and called for people to oppose SB 249.

Cal-FFL is now accepting donations through Fundrazr and PayPal. FFLs and pro-gun businesses can join Cal-FFL online at http://calffl.org/join or contact Director of Development Jeff Silvester at jsilvester@calffl.org.

Calguns Foundation chairman Gene Hoffman debated Sen. Leland Yee on Capital Public Radio. It wasn't much of a debate - Mr. Hoffman clearly walked away from the experience with the title belt.

Cal-FFL and Calguns Foundation both submitted letters of opposition to the Appropriations Committee that were cited in the official Committee analysis.

Did the pathbreaking CGF / Cal-FFL STOP SB 249 campaign & StopSB249.org platform force Senator Yee to abandon his failed "conversion kit" ban and 'gut & amend' SB 249 (again) too late, killing SB 249 on rules?

North County Firearms (San Marcos) ran this hilarious ad in the paper to highlight the insanity of SB249.

Sacramento Black Rifle got in on the STOP SB 249 action big time by running a great radio spot on area FM stations.

Not to be outdone by Wes at Ten Percent Firearms, Jeff #2 at ["the infamous"] PRK Arms (Fresno) created another fantastic YouTube video on SB 249-compliant firearms, this time AK-47 platform guns.

We wonder how leg. staffers reacted to Ten Percent's ad for SB249guns.com in the Sacramento 'insider's daily news mag' Capitol Morning Report? (Look under 'Items for Sale'.)

We're still impressed by how many people have found out about Stop SB 249 and Sen. Yee's gun ban through circle track racer Chris Lambert's #50 Stop SB 249 car.
