On Wednesday, June 21, at 9:00 a.m. in room 2200, the Senate Governance & Finance Committee is scheduled to hear Assembly Bill 28, a bill to raise taxes on sportsmen and gun owners in order to pay for gun violence and recovery programs. As we all know, this tax is not about protecting California’s communities. AB 28 is just another tactic gun control extremists are using to force law-abiding sportsmen and gun owners to pay for the criminal actions of others and give up their freedom.
Please use our Take Action button to email the members of the committee urging them to OPPOSE AB 28.
As we have previously reported, AB 28 establishes the “Gun Violence Prevention, Healing, and Recovery Fund” and imposes an additional 11% tax on the gross receipt from the retail sale of any firearm, firearm precursor part, or ammunition to go toward this fund.
Violent crime is a societal problem with many causes that should be borne by everyone instead of singling out innocent sportsmen and firearms owners.
Don’t forget to share this important message with your family, friends, and fellow sportsmen and ask them to also email the committee urging them to OPPOSE AB 28.
