Call Governor Newsom - (916) 445-2841
AUSTIN, Texas (April 23, 2019) – Last week, a Texas
House committee unanimously passed a bill that would decriminalize
firearm sound suppressors under state law and end state enforcement of
federal laws regulating them in the state.
We at E P Armory are angered and saddened by the tragic events in Parkland Florida. The actions of one person can have huge impacts on so many levels.
We have just as much anger though for the media, anti gun groups and politicians skating through the blood of those who were killed only to make a new attempt to strip the freedoms we and so many love. Not only to exercise their right to bear arms but be able to defend themselves from the possible attackers like the one in Parkland. Stripping one right only leads to another. We support and respect the Second Amendment, and we recognize and appreciate that the vast majority of gun owners in this country are responsible, law-abiding citizens. The few who are not are the true problem, as well as federal law enforcement who knowingly fail to identifying them before incidents like this happen.
Gun violence is not an epidemic. The true epidemic is the government inability to enforce the rights of its people, rather they attempt to remove them in the name of safety or feelings. People would rather look the other way or believe someone else will act when a individual maybe not mentally stable. Liberal thinking and the unwillingness to speak up has caused much more harm to our society. The morals of our great nation are being squashed because the news media, social media and celebrities pushing the agenda of equality are being twisted into obliviousness than anything else. Being unaware, unprepared or oblivious is what makes targets dead.
Now we have large store chains such as Dick's, Walmart, Kroeger and more saying they will not sell AR15 style rifles anymore or anything gun related to any person under the age of 21. This is only better for the small mom and pop shops that have had to attempt to compete with the purchasing power they held. As far as those stores I hope they restock those shelves with Tide soap pods.
The owners of E P Armory and its employees are sick and tired of the “gun” always being the center of attention rather than the mental health or the citizen who said nothing before the incident. Those who the media always seem to find for interview always say “the gun was the problem”.
As always, the employees of E P Armory will be making quality components for any and all semi auto platform rifle or pistol. We will continue to sell to any and all civilians of legal age ammo or center fired semi automatic rifle. We will fill the gap wherever it is needed and service the people no matter what the opposition attempts to shove in our direction. We will not let the media or political agenda sway us in any way that could impose our beliefs or those of anybody else on our customers and neither should any business. The idea that these few businesses could have an impact on the demand for a product is rather ridiculous. If people want to consume a product they will buy it elsewhere or build it themselves. We will gladly help them.

A gunman set off fire alarms at a Florida high school Wednesday afternoon, luring hundreds of students out of their classrooms so he could open fire with a semi-automatic AR-15 assault rifle.
After firing several rounds, the shooting suspect, identified as 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, dropped his weapon and hid among the crowd as authorities evacuated students and faculty members from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
Police captured Cruz over an hour later in Coral
Springs, located about a mile away. He was taken to a local hospital and
then released into police custody.
At least 17 people were killed and several others were wounded in the shooting, officials said. Cruz was charged Thursday with 17 counts of premeditated murder.

suspect exited the stairwell [and] pulled the rifle out of the case."

Cruz, according to Israel, then "readied his rifle and began shooting into rooms 1215, 1216, 1214. He went back to 1216, back to 1215 and then to 1213."
Cruz, he revealed, "took the west stairwell to the second floor," where he shot one person in room 1234. The gunfire lasted a three-minute span, according to the sheriff.
Israel said Cruz "took the east stairwell to the third floor. He dropped his rifle and backpack [and] ran down the stairs."
Cruz eventually left the building with others who were trying to escape. He ran towards the tennis courts and then took a southbound turn, the sheriff said.
After the shooting, Cruz went to a Walmart and purchased a drink at a Subway before leaving the Walmart, according to Israel, though he couldn't give an exact time this occurred. Cruz then headed to a McDonald's and "sat down for a short period of time."

( Copy and Paste direct from the Ca DOJ website.) I have highlighted some problematic areas............
Pursuant to Assembly Bill 1135 (Stats. 2016, ch. 40) and Senate Bill 880 (Stats. 2016, ch. 48) effective January 1, 2017, the definition of assault weapon is revised.
These bills will require that any person who, from January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2016, inclusive, lawfully possessed an assault weapon that does not have a fixed magazine, as defined in Penal Code section 30515, including those weapons with an ammunition feeding device that can be readily removed from the firearm with the use of a tool, shall register the firearm before January 1, 2018, but not before the effective date of the regulations adopted by the DOJ.
These bills will also require registrations to be submitted electronically via the Internet utilizing a public-facing application made available by the DOJ. These bills will require the registration to contain specified information, including, but not limited to, a description of the firearm that identifies it uniquely and specified information about the registrant. These bills will permit the Department to charge a fee of up to $15 per person for registration through the Internet, not to exceed the reasonable processing costs of the Department to be paid and deposited, as specified, for purposes of the registration program. These bills will require the Department to adopt regulations for the purpose of implementing those provisions and will exempt those regulations from the Administrative Procedure Act. These bills will also make technical and conforming changes.
Assembly Bill 1135 and Senate Bill 880 also define the meaning of "fixed magazine" to mean an ammunition feeding device contained in, or permanently attached to, a firearm in such a manner that the device cannot be removed without disassembly of the firearm action.
This new legislation closes the "bullet button" loop hole and categorizes "bullet button" firearms as assault weapons.
Find out more about Assembly Bill 1135 and Senate Bill 880
UPDATE AS OF
Mon Jun 19 2017 20:58:11 GMT-0700 (PDT)
: The ability to register an Assault Weapon pursuant to Assembly Bill 1135 and Senate Bill 880, is not yet available. Pursuant to AB 1135 and SB 880, Assault Weapon registration regulations must be effective before any registrations can take place. At this time, the regulations are still pending, however they should be effective in the very near future. Please continue to check the Bureau of Firearms website for updates.
