Senate Bill 347: What it Does
- SB 347 would create a new misdemeanor crime and 10-year total gun ban for anyone convicted of possessing ammunition on school grounds, as well as two other un-related offenses.
- A violation of Penal Code § 30310 does not even require the person to have a firearm on them — simply possessing a single cartridge of ammunition on school property would result in a stiff criminal penalty and the total loss of their Second Amendment rights for a decade.
- SB 347 would institute a ten-year blanket ban of a person’s fundamental Second Amendment civil rights even in the case of non-violent, technical violations of a strict liability crime in Penal Code § 30310.

Senate Bill 347: Talking Points
- Subjecting people to a ten-year total firearms ban for a non-violent, technical violation of law is excessive.
- SB 347 should be vetoed and sent back to the Legislature with instructions to address Penal Code § 30310’s deficiencies before making the simple, non-violent possession of ammunition—itself a misdemeanor—result in a ten-year loss of fundamental, individual civil rights.
