Gun Registration is Dead, BUT…

Earlier this week, SB 1160, introduced by well-known gun control supporter Sen. Anthony Portantino, was set to be discussed in the Senate Public Safety Committee. However, it was removed from the agenda by Portantino's team.

The committee's analysis of the bill reveals several reasons why Sen. Portantino may have decided against presenting his proposal. Key points from the analysis include:

1) The bill lacked support, facing strong opposition from numerous police associations across the state.

2) Committee staff questioned the necessity of creating another firearm database, adding to the many managed by the Department of Justice (DOJ), which is a recurring concern for the DOJ itself.

3) There were issues regarding the harshness of the proposed penalties and the insufficient timeframe for firearm owners to adhere to the new regulations.

4) Delta Waterfowl, a national conservation organization, criticized the bill for imposing an undue tax on law-abiding hunters and sportspersons in the state, seeing it as a step toward the ultimate goal of firearm confiscation.

5) Additionally, concerns about the bill infringing on Second Amendment rights were raised, with the committee staff suggesting that the bill's constitutionality was uncertain, hinting at an overly optimistic view of its legal defensibility.

The California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA) has been actively opposing this bill and continues to be alert in its efforts to ensure its defeat. It's clear that Sen. Portantino, with the backing of the Governor and well-funded activist groups, aims to heavily tax and regulate legal gun ownership to the point of non-existence, leaving guns only in the hands of criminals.

It's likely that this bill, or a version of it, will be reintroduced. It's crucial to remain vigilant and strong in the face of these challenges.

WHY aren't we holding elected officials to their Oath of Office? They should have to personally PAY the court costs, etc. for frivolous legislation that they know is unconstitutional?!?

Hawaii has required firearms to be registered for as long as I remember. How are they able to get away with this 💩?

[redanzey]

I don’t trust Portantino! Until he joins DeLeon on the sidelines he will still cause harm to our state.

[Stevarooni]

Gun Control never dies, it just gets fought off until the next season.

[donlucas]

there should be thousands and thousands of letters pouring in to the state capital from gun owners in california that say NO to this

[donlucas]

its up to the gunowners now in california to be heard over this, we cant expect any group to do the talking for us. every gun owner should be writeing letters that say NO to this, and mail them to the capital, by next week they should be swimming in letters from calf gunowners

[joshuatoler]

if a state makes a list then it’s a registry they can call it whatever they want but it’s a registry end of argument!!!!

[Dstev]

Very good news, thanks for the background!

[vernonconway]

Portanino should be voted out of office.

Criminals will find a way to get guns no matter what anybody does.
Making law-abiding citizens pay to register their own guns creates another stupid waste of tax money bureaucracy.

[文老二-gp]

The Second Amendment is under constant attack, but with the support of organizations like CRPA, we can continue to defend our rights against overreaching legislation.
