California: Bill to Restrict Self Defense Withdrawn by Sponsor

California: Bill to Restrict Self Defense Withdrawn by Sponsor

On Wednesday afternoon, Assemblymember Zbur announced he is withdrawing Assembly Bill 1333 that would have restricted self-defense rights in California. The legislation, which was strongly supported by Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action, received widespread criticism and pushback from law enforcement, Second Amendment supporters and everyday Californians for attempting to eliminate the self-defense rights of California’s law-abiding citizens. Thank you to NRA members that contacted lawmakers in opposition to the bill!

AB 1333, if passed, would have restricted 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 would force 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 has been on the ground in Sacramento actively opposing AB 1333 and other legislation aimed at restricting the rights of California’s law-abiding gun owners. Please stay tuned to your email inbox and www.nraila.org for additional updates throughout the session.
