Here is the reply I received from Cris Forsyth, Chief of Staff for Assemblyman Jim Beall:
Hi Mr. Miller.
I am in conversation with the Assembly Member concerning this legislation.
He said he had concerns with bill, spoke with the NRA lobbyist, and requested more information on the legislation.
I'll let you know soon his disposition to the bill.
Sorry for the delayed response.
Cris

I have not yet heard back from Mr. Forsyth concerning his disposition on this bill, but today, April 13th, the Public Safety Committee met and voted on this bill. The members voted as follows:
- Chair Assemblyman Tom Ammiano - AYE
- Vice-Chair Assemblyman Curt Hagman - NO
- Assemblyman Jim Beall, Jr. - NOT VOTING
- Assemblyman Danny Gilmore - NO
- Assemblyman Jerry Hill - AYE
- Assemblyman Anthony Portantino - AYE
- Assemblymember Nancy Skinner - AYE
So, the bill has passed, but Mr. Beall did not vote on it for some reason, perhaps he was absent. In any case, this bill advances one more step in the process of becoming the latest useless crime prevention law.
