This year, the Second Amendment has been under constant attack in California. The anti-gun bills that were passed were so horrendous that FPC coined a new term – “Gunpocalypse” – to describe them.
Our grades are based on votes that Assemblymembers and Senators took and the bills that they authored or coauthored. Members were given an A+ if they authored a pro-gun bill and had a perfect voting record. A+ Members earn the distinction of “FPC Defender of Liberty.”
On the flip side, Members were given the ranking of TYRANT if they showed a commitment to civilian disarmament and also authored or supported a “Gunpocalypse” bill, meaning a bill that literally strips guns away from law-abiding individuals.
There are no moderates in the battle for the Second Amendment, as the grades reveal. The majority of legislators either received an A, F, or TYRANT grade on our report card.
It has been an uphill battle so far, but despite the assault on our gun rights we have had success in convincing the Legislature and Governor to kill many of the anti-gun bills. As for the ones that were signed into law, FPC is committed to continue the fight against them.
