PETERSON June 7, 1925 - August 9, 2012 Colo. shooting prompts gun bills in big states SACRAMENTO (AP) — Democ- ratic leaders in three big states have used this summer's mass shooting in Colorado to push bills that would crack down on assault weapons and ammunition sales, rekindling a debate that has not gained much traction in Congress or on the presidential cam- paign. In Illinois, Gov. Pat Quinn pro- posed that his state enact a strict ban on assault weapons, similar to Califor- nia's. New York lawmakers have pro- posed wide-ranging legislation that would limit weapons purchases. California Attorney General Kamala Harris and the Democratic state Senate leader back a bill that would make it more difficult and time- consuming to reload assault weapons. The chairmen of public safety com- mittees in California's Assembly and Senate co-authored a bill that would require dealers to report purchases of large quantities of ammunition to law enforcement authorities. ''California sets the pace for the country. If there's no action in Congress, we better do something here and hope it catches fire in other states.'' —State Sen. Leland Yee (D—San Francisco) woman Nancy Skinner, who authored the bulk ammunition bill, said they are optimistic because they already have the support of influential lawmakers — and, in Yee's case, the state attor- ney general. In California, Yee and Assembly- The proposals are not likely to be addressed in earnest until lawmakers return next year, since most of this year's legislative sessions are finished and California has just a few weeks left. U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat from California, com- plained after the Colorado shooting that Congress has failed since 2004 to renew the federal assault weapons ban she authored a year after a gunman killed eight people in a San Francisco high-rise in 1993. Friday, August 17, 2012 – Daily News 7A The suspect in the July 20 Col- orado shooting, James Holmes, legal- ly bought 6,000 rounds of ammunition online without raising authorities' attention. He had four weapons, including an assault rifle, on him after the rampage that killed 12 people and injured 58 at a midnight movie screen- ing.

The group has set up a country. If there's no action in Con- gress, we better do something here and hope it catches fire in other states,'' said state Sen. Leland Yee, a San Francisco Democrat who authored the legislation that would slow down the process of reloading an assault weapon with a new magazine. With strong support from Democ- ratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York lawmakers have offered a similar rationale for proposing a series of bills that together would give their state the nation's toughest gun control laws. ''I think there is appetite for reform,'' Cuomo told reporters this week. ''I think that's a good thing, and I think that's one of the issues I'm going to have at the top of the list next January.'' The push in some of the nation's most populous and liberal-leaning states illustrates a national divide, often along party lines, over whether the public should have unfettered access to military-style weaponry and ammunition. ''It's time for the people to band together in our state ... and do some- thing about these weapons. We should remember those who lost their lives,'' Quinn said last month after he added his gun control proposal onto a bill that had dealt with ammunition sales. New York state Sen. Michael Gia- naris has proposed legislation limiting firearms purchases to one a month, requiring background checks for all gun sales, a firearms safety course for gun buyers and a cooling-off period before a gun could be picked up after purchase. It also would require that sales of firearms and ammunition be reported within 24 hours. Fellow Democratic Sen. Jose Per- alta also introduced a bill that would prohibit the sale or purchase of more than 500 rounds of ammunition during any 30-day period. ''The recent rash of gun violence Nor will Congress take up the bill introduced after the Colorado shoot- ings by U.S. Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg of New Jersey and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy of New York. ''The reality is that these tragic shootings will continue if we can't break the gun lobby's stranglehold on Congress,'' Lautenberg said in a state- ment. The prospects for the proposals are uncertain, but Democratic political strength in each state provides momentum that would be largely absent in Republican-dominated states. California, for example, has some of the toughest gun laws in the country and last year enacted a ban on the open carry of unloaded handguns. Democrats control the statehouse and governor's office in California and Illinois, and all but the state Senate in New York. Even with half the legisla- ture in Republican hands, Cuomo said he believes Republican lawmakers will work with him on gun-control legislation. SACRAMENTO (AP) — Supporters of Gov. Jerry Brown's November tax ini- tiative, including both of California's U.S. senators, called Thursday on a rival campaign to stop its criti- cism, warning that attacks and negative campaigning will jeopardize prospects for both measures. School funding would be hardest hit if voters are turned off and reject the ini- tiatives, Brown's backers said in their letter to the Cal- ifornia PTA. It said the campaign for Proposition 38, funded by wealthy civil rights attorney Molly Munger and backed ISHI (Continued from page 1A) same year to Fire Captain at Valley View Camp in Elk Creek where he worked for three years until accepting an assignment at the Lassen Lodge fire station followed by assignments at the Paynes Creek and Bowman fire sta- tions. In 2008, Russell was pro- moted to Battalion Chief makes clear that enough is enough,'' Gianaris said in a statement. The leaders hope the legislation will go further than gun control bills have in Congress, where Republicans are generally opposed to further restrictions and Democrats are reluc- tant to engage on the issue during a presidential election year. After the Colorado shooting, two Democrats introduced a bill that would prohibit the general public from buying thousands of rounds of ammu- nition by mail or online. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, said the Senate's schedule is too crowded to allow a debate on gun control this year and has been noncommittal about whether Congress would consider the issue next year. The White House has said President Barack Obama will not push for stricter gun laws this year. by the PTA, has become increasingly negative in recent months, even person- ally attacking Brown. ''These attacks have called the governor 'untruth- ful,' attacked Prop 30 as a 'shell game,' and a 'tiny Band-Aid' that is 'terrible for kids,' and even included the false claim that Prop 30 will make schools lose money,'' the letter states. It is signed by Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Bar- bara Boxer, Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg and Assembly Speaker John Perez, all Democrats. The letter proposes that both campaigns adopt a pos- have an inordinate fear, a knee-jerk, visceral, emotional reaction to guns,'' Paredes said. The divide is not just between states and the federal government, but also between Democratic- and Repub- lican-leaning states. In Wyoming, for example, the Republican-dominated Legislature recently passed a bill allowing resi- dents to carry concealed guns with no permit or background check. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, defended gun rights even after a shoot- ing this week near Texas A&M Uni- versity that killed three people includ- ing a police official and the gunman. Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said the gun control proposals were a step in the right direction. ''There are places where we're see- ing kind of the hopeful signs,'' he said. ''But right now, there are far too few of them.'' Since 1990, the National Rifle Association's political action commit- tee and individuals associated with the NRA have contributed nearly $19 mil- lion to members or candidates for Congress, with 82 percent of those contributions going to Republicans, according to The Center for Respon- sive Politics in Washington, D.C. The National Rifle Association did not respond to repeated messages left by The Associated Press over several days. Sam Paredes, executive director of Gun Owners of California, said the state's current laws are already work- ing and don't need to be tougher. He cited a 2010 state attorney general's report that found less than 4 percent of the weapons used in violent crimes and sent to state crime labs were assault weapons. ''We're governed by people who Backers of Brown's tax measure want clean campaign Nathan Ballard, a itive campaign compact in which they refrain from directly attacking or refer- ring to one another in all ads, public statements and voter outreach. ''While we may not all agree on the ultimate fund- ing solution, education advocates across California can surely agree on the worst outcome for our state: one where both initiatives fail,'' it said.
