CHE TALK

JERRY BROWN
Written by Don B. Kates   

I have been asked to comment on the up-coming CA gubernatorial election: Of the Republican candidate, an immensely wealthy woman named Whitman, I know nothing except that she is alleged to be anti-gun by some people who claim to know and that the allegation is not surprising to anyone.

SPECIFICS: Whitman recently gave an interview to the SF Chronicle in which it reported her as believing "tough gun laws like assault weapon bans and handgun control [i.e., banning them] are appropriate for California." Under her stewarship of E-Bay it adopted a policy of refusing to advertise gun or ammo sales.

(See article below for details of proposed ordinance).

COMMERCE CITY COUNCIL POSTPONES VOTE ON RANGE CLOSURE IN RESPONSE TO NRA’S REQUEST FOR STUDY TIME

On February 15, 2010, the City Council for the City of Commerce postponed a vote over the future of the James W. Bristow Marksmanship Range in Commerce’s Veterans Memorial Park. Though city staff recommended permanent closure of the range, the Council chose to postpone taking any action, as requested by the National Rifle Association (NRA). The NRA made the request so it would have time to study the situation. This request was reiterated by several members of the public who spoke to oppose the closure of the range. Not one public speaker was in favor of the range’s closure.

In the fall of 2009, Commerce "temporarily" closed the range based on testing that indicated the presence of lead dust nearby. About a month later, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) issued a "Notice to Comply" to Commerce regarding the range’s operations. The AQMD Notice to Comply alleged the presence of unresolved lead dust issues around the range, and instructed Commerce that it could not reopen the range until it got the AQMD’s approval.
