Hi,

I'm new to this Tribe (thank you for having it!)
and have a lot of learning to do (being a new gun owner and new to the NRA)

but I thought I would go out on a limb to post a little something about us Californians putting a helluva lot of -needed- pressure on the lawmakers in Sacramento...

a small snippet (to whet your appetite :-) )
...
"One of the biggest threats to firearms owners is AB 2062.
Assembly Bill 2062 (De Leon) imposes:
(1) an 'ammunition purchasers' permit requirement for Californians to purchase handgun ammo
(2) a fee for each Handgun ammo purchase
(3) requires a state license to sell ammunition
(4) more unfair restrictions on law-abiding gun owners............."

and some more...

"SITUATION; AB 2062 is a clear and present danger to all firearms owners in California! The NRA has been actively opposing AB 2062. Refer to the following pages for more information:
www.calnra.com/calerts/ca...40108.shtml & www.calnra.com/calerts/ca...40808.shtml .

•AB 2062 is scheduled to be heard on Wednesday, May 7th, in the Assembly Appropriations Committee.

•Several groups are coordinating active opposition to the overbearing restrictions of AB 2062.

•The NRA realizes that most California gun owners cannot take the time off of work and pay the ever-increasing fuel prices required to personally attend a "Lobby-Day" in the State Capitol in Sacramento.

•The NRA has made our legislative contact resources available to you, the firearms owner, so that you can participate in our statewide coordinated effort to oppose AB 2062....... no matter where you are located.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Tell the Legislators to stop supporting ill-conceived gun control proposals, such as the AB 2062 ammunition sales restriction scheme, by participating in NRA's Virtual Lobby-Day on Tuesday, May 6th.

•RIGHT NOW: Send this message to every gun owner you know. Include all: gun clubs, stores, ranges, RKBA groups, etc. Cross-post this on the Internet - on web sites and firearm-related forums. Email this link www.calnra.com/calerts/ca...42908.shtml to everyone you know.

•RIGHT NOW: On the Internet, go to the California Legislative Contact Page at: www.calnra.com/legs.shtml and use our ONE-CLICK email delivery system to contact the Assembly with a single message in opposition to AB 2062. Note: emails will be received in the legislators offices with the "From:" field set to the ORIGINAL SENDER. Remember that you are sending a single Email to several people. You should address your message accordingly. Example: Dear Assembly Member, . (Legislators will not see that they are receiving the same message as the others.)

•TUESDAY, MAY 6TH: Call and Fax the legislature and voice your opposition to more gun control proposals! And make those phone calls/faxes between 9:00AM until 4:00PM. Those firearms owners who can travel to the State Capitol will be visiting the legislative offices at the same time your calls and faxes will be arriving. Please be polite while you get your point across to them! The combination of your calls, faxes, and emails, together with those personal visits, will show the legislators that California's firearms owners strongly opposed AB 2062 and similar legislative proposals.

Contact information, including phone and fax numbers, is listed on the CA Legislative Contact Pages at: www.calnra.com/legs/asm.shtml .

Together, our voices will be heard and we can stop the anti-freedom forces and win back our rights!
