Man, I just hope these biased lefty staffers report the real numbers to the guv. and don't skew the data!
PS Big thank you to all those who called/are calling from out of state!
 
Ok, so does he sign or veto things on the weekend?

I kinda figured he'd do the deed by the end of business today if he was going to veto it.

:(
 
called and opposed.

I don't hear any bias, frankly. Heck, I hardly hear reading.

At my last job we used the Mapex VRU system to call in our hours. You wanna hear a lady with a nice phone voice... lol
 
The governor has about 300 bills remaining on his desk. He didn't veto it Friday. If he doesn't veto AB1471 by the above mentioned deadline, it'll become law. *SIGH*
 
Have previous governors waited until the weekend to veto?

If this bill becomes law I'll be devastated. Has California gone completely insane?
 
I'm sorry to see this happening, but I have to disagree that if it happens in CA it will spread to the rest of the country. I *used* to believe it when I lived in San Diego. Since moving to North Carolina, I have realized it for the distorted view that it is. The vast majority of the BS that is foisted upon the citizens of that state (2A related or otherwise) would get legislators thrown out of office around here, and we have a Democrat legislature.

WOW I can't believe it:banghead::eek:. I'm now on a mission to buy as many guns as I can before it becomes effective.;)

I'll also be seriously looking into property in Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and other more rational states.

I'm completely disappointed. :cuss: I feel completely betrayed.:(

There is now NO HOPE in the Stae of California.

Lastly, He should be kicked out of the Republican Party as a, turncoat and be branded a Democrat.
 
I'm sure this is going to be followed up with a bill that makes tampering with microstamped guns illegal

Gov. Schwarzenegger Signs Landmark Legislation to Solve Gun Crimes

Sacramento, CA – Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law cutting-edge legislation that will provide police with an important new tool in solving gun crimes and apprehending armed criminals and gang members. AB 1471 passed both the Assembly last spring and the State Senate last month.

“We applaud Gov. Schwarzenegger for taking a bold step to solve gun murders in California. This ground-breaking law gives police officers a powerful tool to apprehend armed criminals and gang members before they strike again,” said Brady Campaign President Paul Helmke. “The Governor has set a new national standard for the rest of the country to follow.”

The Crime Gun Identification Act will require that all new models of semi-automatic handguns sold in the State of California starting in 2010 be equipped with technology to allow police to match bullet casings found at a crime scene to the handgun that fired the bullets. This technology, known as "microstamping," consists of engraving microscopic characters representing the make, model and serial number of a handgun onto its firing pin and other internal surfaces. These characters transfer onto the bullet shell casing when the handgun is fired. In instances of drive-by shootings, where the only evidence at the crime scene may be a casing from a fired bullet, law enforcement will be able to quickly obtain a critical lead.

Assemblyman Mike Feuer (D-42), a former Los Angeles City Councilmember who recognizes that law enforcement needs more tools to combat gang violence, was the author of the bill. It was supported by the California Police Chiefs Association, the Orange County Chiefs’ and Sheriff’s Association, the Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC), and the Los Angeles Police Protective League, in addition to 65 police chiefs and sheriffs throughout the state.

Kay Holmen, the President of the California Brady Campaign Chapters, said, "Nearly half of all crimes go unsolved in our state. Microstamping technology will provide our police officers with solid leads for finding armed criminals before they do more harm. This new law will allow our police to trace the crime gun---without the gun.”

Oh Lord:(
 
I'm in California. See if that man gets my vote. :banghead: :banghead:
 
This is ridiculous

Isn't there some law against harrasing legislature?

Shouldn't there be something against lunatic governors? Removing the words "mommy and daddy" should be enough to tell people this guy isn't in his right mind. California has really gone to the dogs, sorry to say. I think that if anyone working for/with the governator or whoever is marketing this bs to the people had any real knowledge about guns they would know that a simple fingernail file can remove any kind of marking from a gun. I'm sure gangstas' have been doing it since the inception serial numbers on guns-so whats stopping them from doing it to firing pins?
