On Tuesday, August 31, lawmakers in the Golden State heard loud and clear the voices of pro-gun advocates and defeated three dangerous pieces of anti-gun legislation, according to a report from the National Rifle Association
Assembly Bill 1810 would have established a registration system, similar to the one currently in place for handguns, for all newly-acquired long guns. Under AB1810, the make, model and serial number of the firearm as well as the identifying information of the purchaser would have been recorded and kept on file by the California Attorney General's office.
