Dave Cox

California Senator, R - 1st Senate District

Dave Cox Senate Report: September 2007 - Bills I Voted Against - AB 1470 (Feuer) – Prohibits the manufacture, sale, or transfer in California of a firearm that does not "microstamp" each bullet fired by that firearm with a unique identifying number each time it is fired. This bill would take effect on January 1 2010.

8/31/2006 - AB 2714 (Torrico) - This bill requires that all handgun ammunition sales in California be contingent upon verifying the purchasers age in person at the time of sale. This has the effect of banning handgun ammunition sales over the Internet and phone. AB 2714 passed from the Senate on August 31, 2006 by a vote of 23 to 16. I voted against the measure at that time. The bill was vetoed by the Governor.

8/26/2006 - SB 59 (Lowenthal) – This bill makes it a crime for a person to not report their gun being stolen or lost to a law enforcement agency. It passed the Senate on August 29, 2006 by a vote of 21 to 16. I voted against the bill at that time. The bill was vetoed by the Governor.

8/24/2006 - SB 357 (Dunn) and AB 352 (Koretz) seek to implement a gun ammunition serialization program which would require every piece of ammunition sold, manufactured or possessed in the State of California to contain a unique serial number for identification purposes. The measures would also make it a crime to possess unserialized ammunition in a “public place” after July 1, 2007. SB 357 passed the Senate on June 2, 2005 but did not advance from the Assembly Appropriations Committee. I voted against SB 357 when it came before me in the Senate. AB 352 passed from the Senate on August 24, 2006 by a vote of 22 to 18. I voted against the bill at that time. The bill subsequently did not receive enough votes in the Assembly and is no longer active.
