Senator Yee and his staff have spent considerable time representing SB 249 to be a \u201cclarification of existing law.\u201d  We now have further evidence in the Legislative record supporting our argument that SB 249 would harm California gun owners by creating an entirely new standard for \u201cdetachable magazine\u201d firearms.<\/p>\n<p>Up-to-the-minute information acquired by Cal-FFL lobbyist Matt Gray of Capital Alliance and Cal-FFL president Brandon Combs suggests that, while SB 249 may not succeed in passing the Appropriations Committee due to the substantial costs issues, it is premature to consider the bill a non-threat to gun rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSB 249 has been proven to be an outrageous attack on hundreds of millions of dollars of legal private property and law-abiding gun owners.  We\u2019re encouraged that the Appropriation Committee\u2019s analysis has affirmed our view that California simply cannot afford Senator Yee\u2019s misguided bill,\u201d said Combs.  \u201cWe urge all of our members and supporters to continue vigorously opposing SB 249 by calling the members of the Appropriations Committee and using the Take Action tools at our StopSB249.org campaign website.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The STOP SB 249 Take Action page is located at at <a href=\"http:\/\/stopsb249.org\/takeaction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/stopsb249.org\/takeaction<\/a>.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There were reports yesterday that California State Sen.
