      "ENGLISH ONLY" HANDGUN LICENSING BILL STALLS IN COMMITTEE=20
      Assembly Appropriations Reschedules Hearing
      After moving Assembly Bill 35 (Shelley) off of last Wednesday's =
schedule due to the external pressure created by phone calls, faxes and =
e-mails from NRA members (thank you!), the Assembly's Appropriations =
Committee has rescheduled a hearing on the bill Wednesday, May 2nd. AB =
35, one of two handgun licensing bills up this session, is a measure =
that would mandate that all handgun purchasers, as of January 1, 2002, =
obtain a license before taking possession of the firearm. In order for =
the license to be issued, applicants must have their thumbprint taken =
during the application process and undergo a written and shooting =
proficiency test as administered by their local law enforcement agency.=20

      As that there are no funding mechanisms built into the bill, the =
financial burden placed on the licensees and law enforcement agencies =
will be tremendous. That means officers who are currently assigned to =
protect our streets will be pulled from duty to administer written tests =
to law-abiding citizens who seek a license!=20

      Another important component of this expensive and discriminatory =
measure is that only those individuals who speak English will be able to =
understand the application, written test, and/or testing procedures. The =
fact that California's citizens can currently obtain a drivers license =
in thirty-one languages but cannot obtain a handgun license in more than =
one is blatantly ignoring the diverse complexity of this state.=20

      This is why it's vital that, again, you contact the members of the =
Assembly's Appropriations Committee today and voice your opposition to =
AB 35 on the grounds that it's too costly, too prejudicial, and turns =
our cops into "clerks"! All area codes (916) - voice and fax numbers =
included.=20
