BILL NUMBER: SB 567
VETOED DATE: 10/11/2013
To the Members of the California State Senate:
I am returning Senate Bill 567 without my signature.
Current law defines assault weapon to include any shotgun with a
revolving cylinder. In modifying the definition of shotgun to
include certain rifles with a revolving cylinder that can fire both
shotgun and rifle cartridges, this bill bans a small group of
specialty rifles with no identified impact on public safety.
I am not convinced that this amendment is necessary or justified at
this time.
Sincerely,
Edmund G. Brown Jr.
