It's back already! After passing Assembly Public Safety earlier this week, AB 2459, authored by Asm. Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento), will be voted on next Tusday!

To start, AB 2459 will ban all home FFL dealers. There are hundreds of them in the state, and they may serve areas where a traditional brick and mortar store wouldn't prosper.

AB 2459 would then force all gun dealers to video record all sales of firearms and ammunition. The data will then need to be stored for up to three years!

The Public Safety Committee took amendments to make the bill "better."

While the first in the world form of insurance-- an unobtainable policy that covers the criminal acts of second, third and fourth parties using a firearm or ammunition from the store in question -- is now eliminated, it is still a terrible bill that puts the privacy of every gun buyer at risk and destroys a thriving home FFL market.

FPC will continue to fight this bill at every turn and we hope you will do the same.

HOW TO FIGHT:

1. Sign the petition opposing AB 2459

2. CALL the author of the bill and ask that he pull the bill from the hearing. It is a ludicrous idea; one that needs to go away

3. CALL the Assemblymembers listed below -- ask them to "vote NO on AB 2459"

4. Share this page and help us get the word out -- time is of the essence.
