A group of gun control bills are currently on the state Legislature’s agenda Thursday, and at least a half-dozen have the potential to end up on Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk before his expected vacation.

In the Senate, six gun control bills will be put to a vote Thursday. If these bills pass, they will be brought to the governor for his signature.

• Assembly Bill 1664 – Amends penal codes relating to firearms and revises the definition of an “assault weapon.”

• Assembly Bill 1673 – Redefines the legal definition of a frame or receiver as that part of a firearm which provides housing for the hammer, bolt, or breechblock, and firing mechanism.
• Assembly Bill 1674 – Expands a current law banning the purchase of more than one handgun within a 30 day period to include all firearms.
• Assembly Bill 1695 – Bans those convicted of falsely reporting a lost firearm from purchasing a gun for 10 years.
• Assembly Bill 2607 – Would allow a court to issue a restraining order preventing a person from purchasing a firearm when it is shown that there is a substantial likelihood that the subject of the petition poses a significant danger of harm to himself, herself, or another in the near future by owning the firearm.
• Assembly Bill 1135 – Similarly to Assembly Bill 1664, revises the definition of an “assault weapon.”

The state Assembly has seven bills up for a vote Thursday. If these are passed, they will be put on Brown’s desk for a final signature before becoming laws.

• Assembly Bill 1511 – Limits the loaning of a firearm to those in the owner’s family.
• Assembly Bill 156 – would require the Attorney General to also maintain information about ammunition transactions and ammunition vendor licenses.

• Assembly Bill 857 – Would Require a gun manufacturer or assembler to apply for a unique serial number or other identifying mark for any weapon made.

• Senate Bill 880 – Similarly to Assembly Bill 1664, revises the definition of an “assault weapon.”
• Senate Bill 894 – Requires gun owners to notify law enforcement officials within five days of a stolen gun and notify them within 48 hours if it is returned.
• Senate Bill 1446 – Establishes ownership of any large-capacity magazine, regardless of the date the magazine was acquired, as a fineable offense. The bill would require a person in lawful possession of a large-capacity magazine prior to July 1, 2017, to dispose of the magazine.
• Senate Bill 1235 – Would require the Attorney General to maintain records of ammunition purchases.

Because these bills, should they pass, will have already gone through both the Senate and State Assembly, Brown can leave the bills without his signature, and they will still become law.

“If he doesn’t sign them, they become law,” said Jennifer VanLaan, a lobbyist for Channel Island Consulting. “We have to have him actually veto them.”

Van Laar said that while calling local representatives is helpful when bills are passing through the state congress, these bills are past that point.

“It’s more important to contact the governor directly,” she said.
