Senator Leland Yee of San Francisco Seeks to Ban Bullet Button

Anti-Gun radical Senator Leland Yee of San Francisco is at it again. Now he’s taken an existing bill and gutted the language out of it to introduce new language that bans bullet buttons on semi-automatic AR style rifles.

Although Gun Owners of California is in complete opposition to California’s tortured so-called “Assault Weapons” laws, they are clear in that if it requires the use of a tool to remove a magazine from a rifle, it could not be considered an assault weapon.  Most importantly, a bullet or ammunition cartridge is considered a tool.  This issue was debated extensively by the legislature when they passed these laws.  Like it or not, this is settled.

On his website, Senator Yee cites a concern with a rise in crime stating, “While most gun owners are law abiding, I am deeply concerned with these assault weapons getting into the wrong hands, resulting in mass casualties of civilians or law enforcement officers.”

The facts according to the CA Department of Justice are that since 1999, crimes with “assault weapons” are almost nonexistent! Even though guns with Bullet Buttons number in the 10’s of thousands if not 100’s of thousands, there is not a single reported incident of a crime being committed with one of them…ever!

So…in other words, SENATOR YEE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT!

But, he will get plenty of sympathy from other Left-Wing Senators and Assembly members to help pass this bill, unless we do something to stop it.

That’s why Gun Owners of California needs your help!!!!!

We need thousands of California citizens to sign the petition (here) and to also send this email alert to every friend and relative you have!!!!!

We also need your financial help—-if you are not a member of GOC, please (join) now!!! If you are a member, please send an emergency (donation) and ask your friends to do the same.

In opposing SB 249, Gun Owners of California declares that this legislation along with the assault weapons laws on the California law books are unconstitutional on all fronts. Even US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia in the landmark case of Heller v District of Columbia, opened the door to consider whether bans of firearms commonly used throughout the country should be considered unconstitutional.  If this is so, then many of California’s gun laws may be unconstitutional including the Assault Weapons Control Act and the Safe Handgun laws that prevent Californians from acquiring firearms that do not have “politically correct” safety devices.

For now, we ask all of our members, supporters and friends to call their legislators and demand that they oppose SB 249 because it is a direct assault on our Second Amendment Rights.  For more information go to our website at www.gunownersca.com or call our office at 916-984-1400.
