This was posted on HKPRO by a buddy of mine your help would be appreciated. Really easy to voice your opinion here with the automated system. Please participate.

The New York Times has thrown their support behind AB962, the ammunition ban here in California. Please take strong note of their use of the word "innovative." If you think what happens in California doesn't affect YOU, think twice. What happens here today might be on your doorstep tomorrow.

The article follows, and if it makes you angry, please consider lending your support to fellow gun owners in California and urge Governor Schwarzenegger to veto AB962 by going through the automated phone system at 916-445-2841. It takes all of 10 seconds (literally!) to do and is much appreciated. If it's busy, try again in a few minutes. The anti's are pushing from all corners of the country. We need your support!

Editorial
Waiting in California

Two innovative bills recently approved by the California Legislature are on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s desk. One would make the state’s justice system fairer and more efficient. The other would improve public safety. Neither would add to California’s fiscal woes, and both would set a worthy example for the nation.

The first bill would expand legal services for the poor. The nation as a whole does a dismal job of providing the indigent with legal counsel in child custody and domestic violence cases, foreclosure actions and other civil cases where basic rights are in peril.

The bill seeks to narrow that gap by investing about $11 million a year from existing court fees in a pilot program to make legal help for the poor routinely available. The bill — the Sargent Shriver Civil Counsel Act — is named, appropriately, for Mr. Schwarzenegger’s father-in-law, who helped build the national legal services movement in the 1960’s.

The second measure seeks to strengthen the web of laws aimed at protecting people from gun violence. It would require ammunition dealers to obtain a purchaser’s identification and take a thumbprint. These records would be available to local law enforcement, which could then cross-check them against the state’s list of felons, gang members and other prohibited purchasers. People who buy bullets on the Internet would be required to pick them up from a store and undergo the same checks.

Mr. Schwarzenegger vetoed an earlier version of this bill five years ago because he questioned the benefit. Since then, the police in several California cities with similar local ordinances have successfully used dealer records to identify, track and arrest felons and others who illegally bought ammunition.

Expanding the program statewide would prevent criminals from traveling to other communities to buy ammunition. The gun lobby reflexively objects to this measure. But that should not deter Mr. Schwarzenegger from standing up for public safety.
