please get your friends and family to testify!

Done! for what it may be worth. What was the count at the last hearing? some 5 or 6 for and over a hundred against. Passed unanimously?
I guess we gotta keep trying, but is is discouraging sometimes.
If you are not an AR guy, even California laws are better in many ways than ours.

I strongly Oppose SB2046

This is a poorly thought out and worded law that does NOTHING to protect the people and has no effect on the possession of bumpstocks or other devices. 

The legislators that write these laws and vote on them have little to no understanding on the design or function of firearms. 

Bump firing can and is done by the function of how a semi automatic firearm operates, It can be done with rifle and pistols and requires no device or aid to function. 

So this law does one of  three  things. 
1 : It does NOTHING
2 : it bans any item that can be used to aid bump firing (string, belts, rubber bands etc....)
3 : it bans semi automatic firearms. 

The maximum fire rate of a semi autocratic is limited only by the rate at which the firearm can mechanically cycle. Typically with AR15's that rate is 600 rounds per minute (some faster) . So no device bump stock or otherwise would accelerate the rate of fire beyond what the firearm is capable of ,making this law yet again mute. 

submitted.  I emphasized #2 and the fact that it's the former AG's opinion that the devices are already banned under the automatic weapon ban.

Someone posted on SSH Hawaii.  I thought the mods would take it down right away, but they left it up because it affects defense and law abiding citizens.  Many commenting didn't know about the bill and thought it was BS.
