URGENT ACTION REQUIRED

AB35, the handgun owner licensing legislation authored by Assemblyman Kevin
Shelley, is expected to be brought-up in the Assembly Appropriations
Committee tomorrow.  AB35 was before this very same committee last week, but
did not receive the required 11 votes to pass.  They are trying again
tomorrow.

Last week, we poured the calls, letters, Emails and faxes into the Capitol
and AB35 stalled. WE CAN STOP THEM AGAIN!

Please contact the Assembly Appropriations Committee members and urge them
to oppose AB35.  Explain to them that AB35 is a misguided attempt to
unnecessarily regulate firearms by using the "English Only" approach to
legislation.  And, although California citizens can obtain a drivers'
license in more than 30 languages, AB35 only allows people who are fluent in
reading, writing and speaking English a chance of passing the restrictive
requirements.

Another good point is the fact that AB35 will probably take thousands of
sworn police officers off of the streets and turn them into "clerks."  These
"cops turned clerks" would be required to process and record all of the
applications and other paperwork that AB35 requires.  This could cost
California tax-payers/gun-owners hundreds of millions of dollars.

Also, there is no funding provisions included in AB35.

These are probably a few of the reasons that serious law-enforcement
organizations, such as the State Sheriffs' Association opposes AB35.
