California Assembly passes gun control bills
SACRAMENTO, CALIF. | BY SHARON BERNSTEIN
The California Assembly on Wednesday passed a package of gun control bills, including a measure to ban so-called bullet buttons which allow quick changes in the magazine of a military-style weapon.
The bills, which lawmakers are pushing the Senate to consider this month, are among several gun control measures that leaders of both houses want to pass in advance of a gun control referendum headed for the November ballot.
The measures include a ban on so-called bullet buttons which supporters say allow gun manufacturers to bypass the state's prohibition on removable ammunition magazines. Weapons owned by the shooters in December's San Bernardino massacre were equipped with bullet buttons.
The bill passed on the same day that the University of California, Los Angeles campus was shut down in the wake of a murder-suicide shooting.
Also passed was a bill to allow employers, co-workers, mental health workers and school employees to ask a judge to ban someone from possessing a gun for up to a year. The state already allows family members to seek such a ban, known as a gun violence restraining order, against relatives whom a judge rules are at high risk of committing violence against themselves or others with a firearm.

(509 posts)The fact that they are imbeciles makes me feel a little better that they are passing such stupid dreck.
However, who voted the imbeciles into office? Lord, I'd almost move just to run against an obvious idiot. Does his or her body person keep a drool rag handy?
This state functioned a little better when we had folks with actual intelligence in office. Willie Brown, where are your descendants? Lord above, this is the ultimate results of term limits and perhaps even top two voting. Whatever happened to the Moscones? We need folks like them back. Forget ever getting another Milk into government office.
But these mental midgets offend me greatly, particularly folks like DeLeon and Yu.
