“If this body were really interested in making it harder for criminals to use firearms it would give law enforcement the tools it needs to track the criminals down, put them in jail and keep them there. Let’s put some teeth into the laws we have before further restricting the rights of the rest of us.“In some instances Governor Brown has already vetoed a similar policy idea. SB 1407 for example is almost identical to 2014’s SB 808. His veto message says it all:
‘I appreciate the author's concerns about gun violence, but I can't see how adding a serial number to a homemade gun would significantly advance public safety.’
“What the Senate passed today is an attack on the Constitutional Rights of law-abiding gun owners. It will do little or nothing to deter criminals.”
