But spokeswoman Catherine Mortensen said the organization opposes any expansion of the law at either the federal or state level. Currently available technology allows consumers to download a gun's design plans to a computer and then build it on a three-dimensional printer with no background checks or other safeguards. Lawmakers in New Jersey and New York have introduced legislation that would ban the possession of weapons made using 3D printers, said National Conference of State Legislatures policy specialist Jon Griffin.

Nick Wilcox, representing the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said de Leon's bill is particularly significant because as of Jan. 1, those buying rifles and shotguns in California are required to undergo the same registration and background checks as are required of those buying handguns. California is also the only state that cross-checks five computerized databases to find people who bought firearms but are not permitted to own them. Brian Michael Jenkins, who once served on the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security and as an adviser to the National Commission on Terrorism, is skeptical that new threedimensional printing tech- nology will lead to a flood of undetectable weapons, if only because it is simpler and cheaper to buy a traditional handgun. Moreover, new airport body scanners and X-ray machines can spot the outline of a gun even if it is made from plastic. However, proposals like de Leon's have merit because they provide another tool to law enforcement, said Jenkins, a senior adviser to the president of the RAND Corp. think tank. De Leon's bill would make violations misdemeanors punishable with a fine of up to $1,000 and up to a year in jail for an illegal handgun, up to six months for a rifle or shotgun. ''As we come up with new types of technology, it creates new vulnerabilities,'' said Jenkins, who has written extensively on terrorism-related issues. ''What you have then is an ongoing dynamic between bad guys and good guys.'' Analyst calls state budget proposal 'prudent' SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown is on the right track with his 2014-15 budget proposal by recommending that California devote billions of dollars in new revenue to start paying down its massive debts, the Legislative Analyst's Office said Monday. The governor's plan would ''place California on an even stronger fiscal footing'' as the state emerges from recession, analyst Mac Taylor said in his review of the spending proposal released by the governor last week. Brown's budget forecasts a $106.8 billion general fund, the highest in state history. The Democratic governor wants to boost K-12 funding by nearly $4 billion and spend $11 billion paying down debts, including $6 billion more that is owed to schools from previous budgets where education was underfunded. He is proposing to put $2.3 billion in reserves, including $1.6 billion in a rainy day fund for fiscal emergencies. The review by the legislative ana- lyst, an independent and nonpartisan arm of state government, warns against new spending commitments other than toward education and notes that the Legislature could revise some of Brown's spending priorities in the months ahead. Lawmakers have until mid-June to send the governor a balanced budget. Taylor credits California's rebounding fortunes to a recovering economy, soaring stock market, relatively restrained spending and new revenue from Proposition 30. Under the initiative pushed by Brown in 2012, voters approved temporary increases in the state sales tax and income taxes on the wealthy. The analysis says anticipated growth in the U.S. economy creates a ''significant possibility'' that California will see billions more in additional revenue by May, when the governor issues his revised spending plan for the fiscal year that will start in July. The report issued Monday also recommends: Judges to rule on whether to delay inmate cap SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown's administration and attorneys representing inmates have failed to reach agreement on the best way to reduce overcrowding in California prisons, a panel of federal judges said Monday, leaving it the court to decide whether to grant the state more time. The judges said in a two-paragraph statement that they will decide within 30 days whether to stick with their current order that the state reduce the population to about 110,000 inmates to improve treatment of sick and mentally ill inmates. California remains about 4,000 inmates over that level and had been given until April 18 to meet the cap. That deadline was extended slightly as both sides were given time to file written arguments, due by Jan. 28. The state budget Brown presented last week assumed the judges will grant the state a two-year extension. That would give the state time to open new prison cells and allow time for rehabilitation programs to get underway. If the delay is denied, the governor said the state will send the overflow of inmates to private prisons in other states. There is nothing in the judges' order prohibiting the state from seeking an extension longer than two years when it files its argument with the court later this month. Brown previously had sought a three-year delay. Corrections department spokeswoman Deborah Hoffman said the administration isn't commenting on what it will propose, although she said the administration is hopeful it will get an extension. — That the state set aside money this year toward $80 billion in unfunded liabilities in the state's teachers retirement fund. Brown has said he wants to meet with representatives of school districts and teachers unions this year to address the problem. The legislative analyst notes that it will be ''a very expensive proposition,'' starting at $5 billion a year and growing. He recommends that future benefits ''be paid completely by districts and teachers over the long term.'' — That the Legislature consider a host of proposals for a rainy day fund, including Brown's budget recommendation, which would replace a constitutional amendment that is scheduled for the November ballot. — That the Legislature reject Brown's plan to spend $250 million out of $850 million in cap-andtrade funds on the high-speed rail project, saying it is unlikely to be the most efficient way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and is ''legally risky.'' 40,000 lbs of meat recalled PETALUMA (AP) — A Northern California company has recalled more than 40,000 pounds of meat products because it was produced without a full federal inspection. The United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Monday that Rancho Feeding Corporation of Petaluma, Calif., recalled 41,683 pounds of meat products. The items, which were produced Jan. 8 and shipped to distribution centers and retail stores in California, include beef carcasses, 20-pound to 60pound boxes of beef feet, oxtail, hearts, liver, cheeks, tripe and tongue. They were recalled because without the full federal inspection, they are considered unfit for human consumption. The carcasses and boxes bear the establishment number ''EST. 527'' inside the U.S.D.A. mark of inspection. Each box bears the case code number ''ON9O4.''
