Dear Assembly Member;
I wish to state my strongest disagreement over AB1934. California is Quickly leading the way into total financial collapse, which is guaranteed to bring an increase in crime in our area.
Instead of following the very positive improvements in crime rates from assaults, rapes and homicides by the population is significantly who is allowed (really allowed? A state is “allowing” a man his right to the Bill of Rights?) to protect himself, his family or other innocent bystanders is showing a very obvious and powerful ability to protect himself by exercising his right to keep and bear arms. The crime rates in those approximately 38 states with “Shall Issue” permits is undeniable proof that a person being legally armed is a major deterrence to those wishing to commit crimes or violence.
In case You may have forgotten about the Second Amendment here are a few quotes from those that actually put their quill to paper.
"I ask Sir, what is the militia? Is is the whole people...To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them".
George Mason during Virginia's ratification convention 1788
Congress has no power to disarm the miltia. their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier are the birth-right of an American...the unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.
Trench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb, 20, 1788
"firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. they are the american peoples liberty teeth and keystone under independence.
George Washington.
laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants;, they serverather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
Thomas Jefferson quoting 18th century criminologist cesare beccaria in "on crimes and punishment."
Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.
