The California legislative session is currently underway and anti-gun lawmakers are once again wrongly focusing on law-abiding citizens instead of focusing on the actual criminals. Assembly Bill 1333 (AB 1333), introduced late last week by Assemblymember Zbur, with the support of Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action, is the latest example of a “criminals first” bill that would eliminate existing self-defense protections in California.
AB 1333, if passed, would restrict the self-defense rights of crime victims by eliminating California’s “no duty to retreat” protection for individuals that are forced to defend themselves. This would make it easier to prosecute victims of crime who use self-defense if they did not first attempt to retreat before protecting themselves. AB 1333 forces victims to accede to the demands of violent criminals or potentially face legal charges themselves. This only revictimizes the victim of a crime while doing nothing to deter criminals.
Your NRA is on the ground in Sacramento and will be actively opposing AB 1333 and other legislation aimed at restricting the rights of California’s law-abiding gun owners. Please stayed tuned your email inbox and www.nraila.org for additional updates.
