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.
