AB 1964 NOW EXPECTED TO COME FOR A SENATE FLOOR VOTE THIS MONDAY! 

Dear OC Brady Chapter Team,

An urgent message just received from our CA Brady Campaign Chapters President:

What kind of people would fight to keep safety features OFF of guns?
Unscrupulous gun dealers, that’s who!

Right now in our state, unscrupulous gun dealers are exploiting a dangerous loophole in California law by ignoring testing requirements and selling handguns WITHOUT SAFETY FEATURES!

More than 18,000 children and teens are shot every year in America with guns. We must protect our children at all costs.

Support us as we fight to close this dangerous loophole in California’s Unsafe Handgun Act…
Call your California State Senator and demand that they pass AB 1964 to prevent gun dealers
from selling handguns without safety features.

Some gun dealers only care about making money. We’ve got to stop them from making it easier for children to unintentionally kill or injure themselves or others.

Tell your State Senator that you stand for protecting our children!
Call your State Senator to help save children’s lives in California today.

With appreciation,
Dallas M. Stout, Psy.D.
President, California Brady Campaign Chapters

AB  1964 (Dickinson)
Brady Campaign Priority Bill to Preserve Our CA Unsafe Gun Act


CALLS NEEDED NOW

California law requires that all semiautomatic handgun models sold in the state pass a series of safety tests and possess certain features in order to be placed on the roster of handguns approved for sale.

Pistols that have been either temporarily, or permanently, altered to fire a single shot before reloading are exempt.

Unscrupulous dealers are altering semi-automatic pistols to "single shot" weapons for the purpose of the sale and then immediately altering them back to the semi-automatic condition, thus circumventing the law.

This bill would prohibit that practice.


OUR MISSION

The Orange County Chapter of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is devoted to creating an America free from gun violence, where all Americans are safe at home, at school, at work, and in our communities.

The California Chapters of the Brady Campaign educate and mobilize our communities to advocate for sensible responsible gun laws, regulations, and public polices at the local, state, and national levels.
