Future increases would be tied to the Consumer Price Index -- not governmental whims. The League of California Cities met this week in San Francisco for their annual convention. The most controversial issue before the League was a resolution calling for the adoption of the California Police Chiefs Association (CPCA) position paper on gun control. This paper makes a number of draconian recommendations including registration of all firearms, licensing of firearm owners and confiscation of so called "assault weapons". CPCA representatives were in attendance and were actively lobbying the League's voting members. In spite of their efforts, the issue proved to be too controversial. Cities all over the state had rejected the CPCA position paper and there was organized opposition on the convention floor which was led by Council Members Sandy Webb (Simi Valley) and Mike Robbins (El Segundo). No vote was taken by the full League membership. However, the resolution was referred back to the League's Public Safety Committee for amendments and this committee will meet in January to reconsider this issue. Please let your City Council representative know of your opposition to this resolution.

Contra Costa County: The county Board of Supervisors failed to pass restrictive ordinances designed to put licensed FFL dealers out of business. Instead, they voted 4-0 to draft a letter to the BATF and California DOJ asking them to enforce current law and make sure all dealers are in compliance. The efforts of the Brentwood NRA Members' Council, local members and FFL dealers were important in the defeat of these anti-gun ordinances. This issue may come up again so stay tuned.... =+=+=+=+ This information is provided as a service of the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action, Fairfax, VA.
