SIGNED<\/p>\n<p>AB 180 by Assemblyman Rob Bonta, D-Oakland &#8212; would give Oakland an exemption from state pre-emption so it can pass its own stricter gun registration or licensing statutes.

With over 1,143 Californians dead from gun violence since the Newtown massacre, next time there is a murder with an assault weapon, the Governor will have blood on his hands and have to answer for his vetoes today. This is the kind of cowardly behavior we expect from out NRA-owned elected officials in Washington, not from a California democrat who should know better.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.humanesociety.org\/news\/press_releases\/2013\/10\/brown-passes-lead-ammo-bill.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The anti-hunting organizations, however, were quite pleased<\/a> with Brown for signing AB 711 which banned lead in hunting ammo.
