We stopped the gun grabbers in September, but its time to fight back
again.

Contact your state assembly-person and senator now and urge him/her to
oppose ANY new gun legislation and Assemblyman Shelley's proposed
anti-freedom, anti-second amendment, anti-self-defense efforts.


Below is the text of a letter being distributed to the legislators in
Sacramento in anticipation of the
next legislative session.  Clearly Assemblyman Shelley is already
planning to make this a priority.

Beyond the usual distortions and half-truths, nearly every paragraph
contains at least one outright lie.

Let no one assume that since we stopped this bill this past year that we
will automatically be able to stop it
next year.

Election day is coming...


"No government is better than our government"

To:             Members of the Legislature
From:           Assemblymember Kevin Shelley
Re:             Co-Author request for Hand Gun Licensing & Registration
Legislation
Date:           October 17, 2000

Gun violence continues to be a disturbing and worrisome threat within
many of our communities.

Recent organized demonstrations and opinion polls reveal that enactment
of a gun licensing and registration program is a high public priority.

For example, this year's Million Mom March turned out over 750,000
mothers who marched in Washington D.C. and 73 other cities to demand gun
control reforms. Organizers of the march cite that ten children die from
gun violence everyday in this country.

Polls indicate the country's strong leanings toward greater gun
controls.  According to a Gallup/CNN poll conducted last year, 79% of
those polled told Gallup interviewers they would favor the registration
of all firearms.

Gun licensing and registration has a proven track record to increase law
enforcement's ability to solve crimes quicker and rid our streets of
illegal weapons.  By giving state and local law enforcement the tools to
track illegal weapon sales and the authority to require certain minimum
gun use safety standards for gun owners, we will get closer to
controlling gun violence in communities.

Many other states already have gun licensing and registration systems in
place.   California must join this national effort to prevent gun
violence in schools and on the streets in our communities by developing
its own system.

I invite you to join me in co-authoring this important piece of
legislation

If you have any questions, please contact my Legislative Director at
319-2012.

* The results are based on telephone interviews with a randomly selected
national sample of 1,022 adults, 18 years and older, conducted June
11-13, 1999

Yes, I want to be a co-author on your proposed gun licensing
legislation.
