The California State Assembly last week approved the confirmation of rabidly anti-gun U.S. Rep. Xavier Becerra as California’s next attorney general by a party-line vote of 56 to 23. 

We told you last week how Becerra has consistently voted against the rights of gun owners and hunters during his tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives. With the current political climate in California, it’s imperative that the next attorney general respect the constitutionally protected Second Amendment rights of California citizens, and Becerra certainly would not.

A hearing by the Senate Rules committee is scheduled for Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. at the Capitol in room 113. NRA-ILA urges California gun owners to please contact their state senator and ask him or her to oppose the confirmation of Becerra as California’s next attorney general.

Standing Guard | The NRA Gathers to Celebrate Our Freedom

The momentum we’re seeing across the country is both encouraging and energizing. January opened with tremendous activity at the NRA booth during SHOT Show, where members, industry partners and supporters stopped by to connect, share ideas and reaffirm their commitment to freedom and the Second Amendment.

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest

As anyone who has passed a basic civics class knows, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All legislation and official government actions are subject to its limits.
