[QUOTE]Originally posted by FivePTSlow: [QB] 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, <a href="http://www.calguns.net/249" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.calguns.net/249</a> 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. Calguns.net is California’s premier website dedicated to serving the firearms community.
