Issue 1:

Tuesday, Jan. 15th - AB464 (Scott) failed in Assembly Public Safety
Committee.  This bill would have criminalized the transfer of unapproved
"Firearms Safety Devices" (F.S.D.) within California.

This bill failed because of the pressure applied by NRA members and
gun-owners the previous week as a result of the January 7th "Virtual Rally"*
staged by the NRA Members' Councils of California (

Issue 2:

IMMEDIATE DANGER - URGENT ACTION REQUIRED

SB510 (Scott) - The Most Recent Gun-Prohibition Scheme

In January 2002, AB106 went into effect, requiring ALL firearms transferred
in the state of California be accompanied by a "Firearm Safety Device"
(FSD).  FSD's are not produced for all firearms and, in effect, implements a
ban on those firearms for which they cannot be acquired.

Masquerading as a solution to the problem caused by AB106, Senator Scott's
1999 "Firearm Safety Device Bill", SB510 would delay implementation of some
provisions of AB106 until after this year's state-wide elections.  SB510, if
passed, will camouflage some of the worst effects of AB106 including
prohibiting the sales of many legal handguns - those for which FSD's are not
available.

SB510 IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO AB106 AND MUST BE DEFEATED.

SB510 is being promoted as an "Urgency Bill", which requires 54 votes to
pass (2/3 majority).  There are currently 50 Democrats and 30 Republicans in
the State Assembly.  If all Republicans VOTE NO ON SB510 this anti-gun
scheme will fail.

SB510 could be voted on as early as the afternoon of Friday, 1/18.  Please
contact EVERY ASSEMBLY MEMBER IMMEDIATELY and tell them to vote "NO" on
SB510.
