Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday signed a bill that allows judges to decide against imposing prison sentencing enhancements of 10 or more years in cases where firearms are used in committing a felony.

State Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena) introduced the measure, saying public safety is not served by the current mandate for enhancements, which come in the form of an additional sentence of 10 years, 20 years or life in prison.

“Far too many people of color are disproportionately impacted by our state’s overly punitive sentencing laws, which tie the hands of our judges,” Bradford said after the signing. “We must provide judges with the same level of discretion at sentencing as we afford prosecutors when filing charges.”

The governor drew criticism Wednesday from state Senate Republican leader Patricia Bates of Laguna Niguel for signing the measure a little more than a week after a gunman killed 58 people in Las Vegas.

“In light of the Las Vegas massacre, it makes no sense for the governor to sign a bill that would give judges the ability to reduce sentences for criminals who use guns,” Bates said. “Any criminal who used a gun to terrorize individuals, families and communities deserves the maximum sentence available.”

Brown acted, his office said, to “restore the power of judges to impose criminal sentences.”

The measure was opposed by some criminal justice leaders including Michele Hanisee, president of the Assn. of Deputy District Attorneys, which represents 1,000 prosecutors for Los Angeles County.

“The illegal use of guns to kill or wound innocent victims is a tragic story that occurs far too often,” Hanisee said recently in urging a veto. “Mandatory punishment for using a gun during a violent crime is right and just.”

That's ridiculous! That's the kind of "gun control" laws we need to keep. Laws like that will have much more of an impact on gun crime that bullshit evil feature gun bans. :rolleyes

And proponents of this crap are actually saying that "people of color" commit a disproportionate amount of violent gun crime! And they want to keep violent gun criminals out of prison sooner?

That privileged and protected hack should come down to Salinas sometime. He can lecture victims and family members of victims as to just how effective the laws he believes in are in fighting gun violence.

But he'll need his bodyguards...

Calguns people believe DOJ has done no outreach on purpose, unlike what Lockyer did with the SKS, because they want people not to register, hence criminalize.

How do I keep up with all the rule changes? They never sent me a notice....?
 
and with a swift few scratches of the pen, the governor made many legal gun owners into legally ignorant felons.

Aside from the "personal defense weapon" definition / terminology per DHS (vs the media and California politician's terms of "assault weapon"), this is a good read as well LB.

https://medium.com/@jonst0kes/why-i-need-an-ar-15-832e05ae801c

...since the dawn of the gunpowder age, gun buyers have snapped up military hardware, because that is often the very best hardware they can get their hands on. In this respect, today’s AR-15 buyers are no different than yesteryear’s lever action rifle buyers.

This is all part of the reason why I, a civilian, “need” a military-grade combat weapon. I don’t want to shoot and miss; I don’t want the gun to jam because it’s dirty or cold; and I don’t want to hit my target and then have it run off into the woods and die lost and wounded because I didn’t “bring enough gun”. Like my grandpa with his “military-grade” lever action rifle, I want a modern firearm that’s popular (which means parts and training are cheaply and widely available), ergonomic, rugged, accurate, and reliably effective, so that none of the aforementioned bad things happen to me when I’m shooting.

If the AR-15 were a weapon that’s suitable only for indiscriminate, spray-n-pray mass slaughter, then it wouldn’t be so popular with police.

There is no conceivable circumstance in which a police officer — not even a SWAT team member — would need to mow down hordes of people. Yet the AR-15 is the “patrol rifle” of choice for modern police departments from Mayberry to Manhattan. And when you understand why police need the AR-15, then you’ll understand yet another reason why I “need” one.

The AR-15 is less a model of rifle than it is an open-source, modular weapons platform that can be customized for a whole range of applications, from small pest control to taking out 500-pound feral hogs to urban combat. Everything about an individual AR-15 can be changed with aftermarket parts — the caliber of ammunition, recoil, range, weight, length, hold and grip, and on and on.
