Got this alert this morning...
LA City Proposal to ban .50 BMG
Fifty Caliber Shooters Policy Institute working for you!
Dear Duncan,
FCSPI wants to notify everyone who live in CA that the city of Los
Angeles is moving ahead to ban the .50 BMG in the city of Los Angeles by ordinance. A proposal (motion) has already been sent to the city
attorney asking him to draft an ordinance within 15 days to meet these
needs. The proposal was signed by 7 members of the Los Angeles city
council and was submitted by councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas.
The motion was a draft from right out of the latest diatribe by the
Violence Policy Center (VPC) in Washington, DC. This is the same group we had to fight in Sacramento, CA earlier this year on the same issue.
My assessment of the situation in Los Angeles is that it has the
earmarks of a "done deal" and that it was 'slammed' through the council
without the benefit of a hearing or discussion. More of the same kind of
cheap politics we continue to see from the anti-gun politicians in CA.
FCSPI is working closely with NRA and CRPA on the issue, but we are now behind the power curve to stop this thing. As usual we were not given any kind of opportunity to bring this up in a forum for a legitimate discussion.
At this time, this information is just to make you all aware of what is happening. The long term significance cannot be underestimated. What we are seeing here are the liberal Democrats who are already predicting a landslide election in CA in November starting to gear up to accomplish their agenda next year. I cannot tell you in strong enough terms how concerned we should be if we don't make an effort to win in November.
We will post more info when we have it. We thank everyone for the support they have shown.
