Whoa. This is rather surprising given Brown’s willingness to sign all of the other anti-gun bills that have been sent his way. If you don’t believe it, here’s the .pdf hosted right on the ca.gov website.
I am interested how he can realize that this bill would not help advance public safety, but his ridiculous handgun roster, that allows Gen3 Glocks to be sold in the state, but not Gen4 Glocks (because of their extra deadly grip stippling and dual recoil springs) also fails to advance public safety in the state.
To his credit, Brown’s vetoed several pieces of gun legislation, including a doozie last year that would have basically classified any long gun with a detachable magazine as an “assault rifle.” He’s not a shooters best friend by a long shot, but in truth, he could have done a lot more damage.
