At this very moment, AB2222, a bill that threatens to restrict or ban access
to .50 caliber rifles and ammunition, is at a critical stage of negotiation
in the California Assembly Public Safety Committee.

Unfortunately, Brian Puckett of "Citizens of America" may have done
immeasurable damage to our efforts in California, by claiming that the
perpetration of violence against duly-elected officials one disagrees with
is both "perfectly understandable" and "absolutely logical".  (LA Times,
4/18/2002)

Reportedly, these comments have negatively affected us in this committee at
this delicate time.  (One might think the LA Times intended that result).
Remember that the author of the bill, Assemblyman Koretz, IS USING TERRORISM
AS THE VERY JUSTIFICATION FOR WHY AB2222 IS NEEDED.

NOW, MORE THAN EVER BEFORE, IT IS VITAL THAT WE COUNTER THESE TERRORISTIC
REMARKS BY COMMUNICATING TO THE ASSEMBLY PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE THAT
CALIFORNIA GUN OWNERS ARE RESPECTFUL, LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS.

Equally important is to provide valid, sound reasons why AB2222 is a bad
idea. Don't allow the undisciplined ravings of a disgruntled gun-owner with
a web site to present an incorrect picture of the gun-owning community, and
in doing so, assist the gun prohibitionists in their efforts!

One last point - AB2222 is to be voted on by that committee THIS TUESDAY,
APRIL 23RD.

PS. Many good activists spend a large percentage of their waking hours
convincing the average non-gun-owning Californian that GUN-OWNERS ARE NOT
CRIMINALS.  If you have a moment, you might drop Brian Puckett a line and
tell him, also.
