Miguel Santiago (D-Los Angeles) is asking the California State Legislature once again express their contempt for civil rights with the introduction of Assembly Joint Resolution (AJR)  24. <\/p>\n<p>AJR 24 voices the Legislature\u2019s opposition to current efforts in congress to pass \u201cconcealed carry reciprocity\u201d legislation (S. 446 and H.R. 38) and any other similar legislation because it would require all states to recognize the concealed carry licenses of other states, creating equity for all when it comes to exercising the constitutional right to bear arms. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not the first time the California Legislature has expressed their complete and utter disregard civil rights\u201d stated Craig DeLuz, Spokesman for the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC). \u201cCalifornia has a long and tortured history with using gun laws to pick winners and losers instead of supporting equality and civil rights for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first gun control law passed in California, AB 80 was enacted in 1854. It was, \u201cAn Act to prevent the sale of firearms and ammunition to the Indians in this State.\u201d In 1924 the Hawes Act was  enacted  to prevent Hispanics and Chinese from obtaining firearms. It also modified California\u2019s concealed carry permit program to allow local law enforcement to subjectively discriminate in the issuance of permits under the guise of \u201cdiscretion\u201d, a  practice that continues to this day. <\/p>\n<p>Under California law, even if a law abiding resident passes thorough federal, state and local background checks, successfully completes specified training, which includes the law relating to use of force, and demonstrates competency with their firearm,  they can still be turned down by the local sheriff or police chief for absolutely no objective reason at all.   <\/p>\n<p>Then there was the Mulford Act of 1967, which banned the right to openly carry a loaded firearm. This measure was meant to disarm civil rights activists groups like the Black Panthers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGun control in California has always seemed to be about keeping  unfavored groups of people from owning, possessing or bearing firearms\u201d, said DeLuz. \u201c In AJR 24, the unfavored group of people are those who visit here from states that actually respect the second amendment rights of their residents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AJR 24 has been referred to the Assembly Public Safety Committee, where FPC plans to vigorously oppose it. \u201cCalifornia is not an island and needs to respect the rights of all Americans.\u201d said DeLuz, \u201cWe understand that they don\u2019t  respect the rights of their own residents. But now they want to export their discriminatory policies to all 50 states.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>No hearing date has been set for either the Congressional bills or AJR 24.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, it was about guns for Native Americans.
