It's back! After being pulled last week, AB 2459, authored by Asm. Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento), will wipe out every single gun dealer in the state of California and it will be voted on TOMORROW!

But we have a unique ally in the fight. The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) is helping us fight this insidious bill!

Here's the deal with this bill: If it passes, they may not ever have to pass another anti-gun bill again. You simply won't be able to legally buy another gun in California.

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 areas of their store wherever firearms or ammunition are stored, displayed, carried, handled, sold, or transferred, including, but not limited to, counters, safes, vaults, cabinets, shelves, cases, and entryways. The data will then need to be stored for up to ten years!

AB 2459 mandates a 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, even if the retailer is in fact the victim of the crime or if the gun or ammo was stolen from the store.

No gun dealer in the state will be able to comply with these insane requirements!
