Long Gun Registration Bill sent to Suspense File!

Los Angeles's Assemblyman Mike Feuer is stymied again....with his bill AB 809.  This is the second year in a row that he has tried to change the law....the law that now says long guns are definitely not to be registered.  He wants to bring about that change.  Change is such a key word...don't you think?  We hear a lot about change nowadays.  The Assemblyman wants to change the law to require registration of long guns.  AB 809 was heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee today.  Our lobbyist was there to testify.  The bill was ushered off into the Committee's Suspense File.  As it turns out, the Department of Finance opposed the bill, saying that the cost will be too great, there are no new revenues coming in, money has been taken out of the dept and sent elsewhere, they can't afford it.  Now there is a change....the state saying "no," because we can't afford it!  That's change we can believe in.
