SACRAMENTO, Calif. -(Ammoland.com)- Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) has issued the following statement regarding the latest California Department of Justice (DOJ) proposed regulations on so-called “assault weapons”:
Once again, the California DOJ and Attorney General Xavier Becerra have used 11th-hour tactics to push its anti-gun agenda, this time by releasing new proposed “assault weapons” regulations right before a major holiday.
FPC has published the new proposed regulations at BulletButtonBan.com — a Web site it established in 2016 for tracking the new California assault weapon laws and regulations — where members of the public can use FPC’s grassroots action tools to submit written comments to DOJ regarding the proposed regulations. A public hearing on the new regulations is scheduled for 10 a.m. on January 8, 2018, at the Resources Building Auditorium in Sacramento.
Last December, the California DOJ submitted its first attempt at “assault weapons” regulations under the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) “File & Print” process, which means that the DOJ believed the regulations were not subject to public notice or comment. However, thousands of FPC members and Second Amendment supporters sent letters opposing the secret process through FPC’s grassroots tools and, without further comment, the DOJ withdrew the regulations near the end of OAL review period.
Then, in May, the DOJ re-submitted regulations under the same “File & Print” process. Those regulations were summarily rejected by OAL a little more than a month later. Following that, the DOJ submitted a virtually-identical set of regulations under the “File & Print” process, which OAL approved in July.
Now, the Department is attempting to promulgate a new regulation to apply the July regulations to all aspects of the State’s “assault weapons” laws, including for purposes of criminal prosecutions.
FPC’s attorneys are hard at work reviewing the regulations and have been instructed to take every appropriate legal action to defend California gun owners and individual liberties.
Earlier this year, FPC was forced to sue the DOJ over the Department’s actions to block access to public records and a previous version of the regulations.

Instead of continually fighting against all of these proposed constitutional rights violations that are constantly being submitted by Brown, Feinstein, Pelosi , Newsom , how about a campaign to recall or vote out these political hacks?
Don’t come to Texas with your California liberalism. Since the mass migrations of Californian and Mexican liberal beliefs Texas has begun to suffer similarly. While we have stronger pro 2nd support, we have suffered hits like Austin partaking in sanctuary city thus making life there more difficult. Until liberalism is far removed from the political scenes as well as a lid to control multiculturalism back down to levels that dont make American values hit the extinction list. California has imploded and should likely go ahead and succeed.
Jerry’s master plan is to take all the guns from the general public and let the criminals out of prison. A perfect formula for chaos!
The only time I was in California was when I was stationed at Fort Ord and it wasn’t because I wanted to be in California. It is a beautiful place, but not somewhere I would ever choose to inhabit. As such, I have no interest in what happens there. Politically, I’m embarrassed it is a part of the country I love, but if it can be kept from spreading, then it can become whatever kind of liberal left-wing Never-Never land the people there want to turn it into so long as it stays there.
California has long ago succeeded from the Union through it’s actions and continues to do so. They deny citizens of their First Amendment rights by allowing colleges to deny conservative speakers to express their opinions on their campuses (Berkley), they deny citizens of their Second Amendment right by infringing in many, many ways of their right to keep and bear arms. They refuse to assist the Federal Government in the enforcement of Federal Immigration laws. They allow illegal immigrants to vote. They give illegal immigrants access to Federal monies. The list goes on and on. These actions are exactly the… Read more »
