Video from http://www.sb249.com shows what California gun owners would be forced to do with their so-called "assault rifles" if Yee's madness passes. But it gets WORSE. SB 249 has been amended by Sen Yee (D - California) to make it even more restrictive - if implemented, it would effectively mean gun confiscation in the state of Calofornia with no compensation


SB 249 (Yee, Firearms) FACT SHEET

StopSB249.org & the STOP SB 249 campaign is a grassroots initiative consisting of The Calguns
Foundation, California Association of Federal Firearms Licensees (Cal-FFL), and tens of thousands of law-abiding California gun owners and civil rights advocates opposed to SB 249.

SB 249’s author & primary Legislative member is Senator Leland Yee (D-San Francisco, San Mateo).

SB 249 co-authors include Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), Senator Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles), Senator Loni Hancock (D-Berkeley), Assemblyman Anthony Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge), and Assemblyman Mike Feuer (D-Los Angeles).
Sen. Yee’s chief-of-staff, Adam Keigwin, has stated that California should ban all guns, even bolt-action hunting rifles. SB 249 is endorsed by rabidly anti-gun state Attorney General Kamala Harris, former District Attorney of San Francisco, who has attempted to prosecute legal gun owners for non-crimes.

Attorney General Kamala Harris has gone on record under penalty of perjury in federal court stating that Bullet Button (maglocked) firearms are legal. (See attached.)

Senator Yee has stated on the record in his Author’s Statement that Bullet Button (maglocked) guns are currently legal. See: http://leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-2/bill/sen/sb_0201-0250/sb_249_cfa_20120702_100005_asm_comm.html.
SB 249, if passed, will:

• Create a massive outright ban on firearms in common use that are protected under the
Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.

• Be possibly the largest unconstitutional government taking of private property in California history, with cost exposure to the state reaching as high as $1 Billion or more, and violating the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

• Force a government-mandated confiscation & seizure of hundreds of thousands of legally possessed Bullet Button (maglocked) firearms without compensation for gun owners,
violating the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the California Constitution.

• Make hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Californians, including active law enforcement
officers (who have no exemption under SB 249) into criminals on July 1, 2013. SB 249 is an
ex post facto law and is expressly prohibited by the U.S. Constitution. SB 249 would criminalize the possession of firearms that are currently legal to possess. States are prohibited from passing and enforcing ex post facto laws by Clause 1 of Article I of Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution...

o An ex post facto law (from the Latin for "from after the action" or "after the fact") or
retroactive law is a law that retroactively changes the legal consequences (or status) of
actions committed or relationships that existed prior to the enactment of the law. In
reference to criminal law, it may criminalize actions that were legal when committed
[like SB 249 does].

• Require that California gun owners use ‘featureless’ detachable magazine firearms (which
allows gun owners to legally use lawfully-possessed high capacity magazines in those SB
249-compliant firearms).

compliant firearms here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhC8LpHPbRQ. See also Solar
Tactical YouTube video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8ATsHBXG7w.)

• Attacks fast-growing family recreation opportunities and shooting sports like 3-gun and
action rifle competitions.

• Irreparably harm thousands of California small business owners and shutter businesses.

• Take away millions of dollars of tax revenues that support schools and law enforcement.
If SB 249 passes in any form, Cal-FFL and The Calguns Foundation will file a federal civil rights
lawsuit seeking injunctive and declaratory relief.
