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.
