    Help oppose CA Senate Bill 249

    Stop SB249 website
    Petition to stop SB 249

    CA gun owners need help in stopping SB 249.

    SB 249 is trying to ban "assault weapon conversion kits".

    Which currently means any firearm part that can be used to make an "assault weapon".

    This mean mere possession of a firearm part* would be illegal under this propose legislation.

    *Examples...
    an AR15 pistol grip
    a forward vertical grip
    a large capacity magazine

    On 08-07-2012, SB 249 was amended again.

    The newest amended version of SB 249 redefines "detachable magazine" to include those magazines that can be removed from a firearm without disassembling the firearm, this includes those magazines that can be removed with using a tool or tip of a bullet.

    Bottom line:
    SB 249 now bans the possession of "bullet button" maglock equipped semi-auto pistols, semi-auto rifles and semi-auto shotguns.

    If passed SB 249 will go into effect on 07-01-2013.
    There will be no "grandfathering" or registering affected firearms as assault weapons, all affected firearms will be subject to confiscation without compensation.
    Affected firearms must be transported out-of-state or surrendered to law enforcement prior to 07-01-2013.


    As amended, SB249...
    Penal Code 30515
    (d)(1) For the purposes of this section, "detachable magazine" means any ammunition feeding device that can be removed from the firearm without disassembly of the firearm action. "Detachable magazine" includes, but is not limited to, a magazine that may be detached from the firearm by depressing a button on the firearm either with the finger or by use of a tool or a bullet.
    (2) The Attorney General shall adopt those rules and regulations that may be necessary or proper to carry out the purposes and intent of this chapter.
    (3) This subdivision shall become operative on July 1, 2013.

    Thanks everyone who helped!

    On 08-16-2012 at approximately 1330 hrs, SB249 died in the CA Assembly's appropriations committee.
