"On Wednesday , April 28 , the Assembly Appropriations Committee met to consider Assembly Bill 1810 and Assembly Bill 2223 . AB1810 was placed into the suspense file due to financial costs and will be reconsidered in the near future . This bill may be acted upon at a later date . Please continue checking your email and NRA-ILA : : for any updates on AB1810 . AB2223 was re-scheduled for next week . AB1810 would establish 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 be recorded and kept on file by the California Attorney GeneralÂ ’ s office . If AB1810 were enacted , violent criminals would continue doing what they do now Â– obtain firearms through illegal means . This bill would not decrease crime but will rather have disastrous effects on the already financially unstable Golden State . AB1810 would impose additional burdens on CaliforniaÂ ’ s taxpayers to maintain the registration system as well as on the stateÂ ’ s licensed firearms dealers , small businesses who already deal with extensive business requirements . One simply needs to look at Canada , a nation with draconian firearms registration , to see the results Â– billions in cumulative administrative costs , annual cost overruns , no clear substantiation of public safety benefits , unjust prosecution , and a bureaucratic complexity that daunts those willing to comply . Ironically , California is considering a new registration scheme as Canada is considering doing away with its system ."
"Let 's ask our California resident what he thinks of this new law . A waste of money in financial crunch time , or just good law making ? However , that is not the only options . You can say whatever you like . It is a free country . At least for now . Given all of the new laws being made , and the bureaucracy they create , thus adding more and further regs . associated with bigger government , the trend does n't look good for Freedom from governmental intrusions . But at least for now ."
