	The real arguments and negotiations on the bill are already complete,
it will pass out of committee.  The public hearings are for show only.

	Mr. Puckett is absolutely correct, politicians need to know that gun
owners aren't going to obey a single unconstitutional law no matter how
corrupt they and the courts are in California.  Any attempt to force
compliance will result in problems for these politicians, as it should.

	Of course Mr. Koretz is using terrorism, that's the new buzz word for
any activity that is counter to that supported by government agents.

	Yes, please write to the committee in support of Brian Pucketts
position, that politicians need to know fully and completely what is at
risk for THEM should they continue in their attempt to thwart the rights
of gun owners.

	AB 2222 is a bad idea because it's passage puts those that vote for it
in peril for their lives and the lives of their families for several generations.

	The vote has already been taken in private, the bill will pass out of
committee unless gun owners put the real fear into those that plan to
vote in favor of it.

	Gun owners are not criminals, Mr. Haas, but they will not obey
unconstitutional laws.  Those that do obey unconstitutional laws, or
fight against those that are waging war against unconstitutional laws
are the real criminals, and that would appear to be YOU Mr. Haas.
