partner with the NRA...well, the NRA isn't waiting.... here's a memo from the
NRA urging opposition to California's SB250.......

to be Considered in the Golden State
Friday, April 10, 2009
Senate to Consider Gun Show Ban and Animal
´Rights¡ Bill
Two anti-freedom bills have been scheduled for a
hearing in Sacramento.
Senate Bill 585, introduced by State Senator Mark
Leno (D-3), would prohibit the sale of firearms and ammunition on the property
or inside the buildings that comprise the Cow Palace. In short, SB585 is a
stepping-stone to banning gun shows on an publicly-owned property in
California. This bill will be heard in the Senate Public Safety Committeeon
Tuesday, April 14.
Senate Bill 250, sponsored by State Senator Dean
Florez (D-16), would require that all dogs older than six months be spayed or
neutered unless owners acquire an "unaltered" license. Even if you obtain an
´unaltered¡ license you may still be required to spay or neuter your dog. An
´unaltered¡ license may be denied or revoked for the most minor violations of
local animal ordinances. Even the most conscientious and vigilant dog owners
have had their dogs escape a home or fenced yard. If SB250 becomes law and
animal control authorities impound the escaped dog, the owner will be required,
with no exceptions, to spay or neuter the dog. This is but one example of the
radical provisions within this overreaching legislation.
SB250 is scheduled to be considered by the Senate
Local Government Committee on Wednesday, April 15. It is critical that dog
owners voice their opposition.
SB250 is being pushed by radical animal ´rights¡
and anti-hunting organizations and is an affront to our hunting heritage and
private property rights. Owners who plan to breed their dogs at some point
during their lives would be required to apply to the government for an
"unaltered" license. The cost of the license is unspecified.
This legislation threatens to keep hunters and
other dog owners from making decisions based upon their own personal
circumstances. It would prevent hunters from continuing the tradition of
occasionally breeding their favorite dog in order to provide other hunters with
good dogs and defray some of the costs associated with caring for their
animals. From a financial perspective, the bill discriminates against hunters
with limited budgets.
Please contact the members of the Senate Public
Safety Committee and the Senate Local Government Committee TODAY and
respectfully urge them to oppose SB585 and SB250. Contact information can be
found below.
