ACTION ALERT RE ASSEMBLY VOTE!

May 31, 2016

ACTION ALERT from Peggy Crum, CA Chapters President, as follows.  

(Assemblymembers are listed in our Leg Contacts page or you can use the links Peggy provided in her email.)

Dear Chapter Members and Supporters:

Keeping crime guns off our streets is a key part of Brady’s strategy to reduce gun deaths in America and here in California.

Years ago, that meant limiting purchases of handguns to one per month. But today rifles and shotguns, including military-style weapons, are increasingly used in crimes. And it’s time to update the rules to stop criminals from using these weapons to terrorize our streets.

The data tells the whole story. According to the California Department of Justice, half the illegal firearms recovered from people who aren’t allowed to possess them are shotguns and rifles. Besides, why would someone need to buy 50, 75 or 100 rifles at one time?

In the next few days, the California Assembly will vote on important legislation, AB 1674, that will update the law, help stop illegal gun trafficking in our state, and make our communities safer.

It's time to stand up for the safety of our California communities to stop the violence by passing AB 1674.

Here’s how you can help: Call your Assembly Member today and urge them to vote YES on AB 1674 to help stop gun trafficking. This vote could take place any day now, so we have to make our voices heard today.
