BILL NUMBER: AB 1674 VETOED DATE: 07/01/2016 To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 1674 without my signature. This bill generally prohibits the purchase of more than one firearm within any 30-day period. It should be noted that California already bans the purchase of more than one handgun per month. While well-intentioned, I believe this bill would have the effect of burdening lawful citizens who wish to sell certain firearms that they no longer need. Given California's stringent laws restricting gun ownership, I do not believe this additional restriction is needed. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
