Today, July 27th, the California Legislature reconvened from the extended summer recess. As you recall, just prior to recess, the California Assembly sent AB 88, the Public Safety Budget Trailer Bill that was riddled with anti-gun language, back to the Senate for additional work. Unfortunately, when it comes to gun control and the California Legislature, some things never change. The Assembly is expected to vote this week on SB 118, another Public Safety Trailer Bill with identical anti-gun provisions. SB 118 expands California's "Assault Weapons Control Act" and expedites the effective date for precursor firearm part restrictions.    LEGAL & LEGISLATION Virginia: Falls Church Considering Gun Ban Tonight Today, at 7:30PM, the Falls Church City Council will consider banning firearms in certain public locations.   NEWS  This is What Keeps America Free In response to a public expression of lawful political speech, "safety officers" come to the person's home at midnight to interrogate him.
