California veto blocks Saturday night gun safety bill
Gov. Pete Wilson vetoes a bill aimed at California gunmakers that would require junk guns to meet safety standards. The measure would set minimum dimensions for semi automatic pistols and revolvers, raising production costs for makers in Southern California. Five California gunmakers produce about 80 percent of such pistols shipped nationwide. Federal data show California made about 900000 pistols in 1998, dropping to under 300000 in 1995 amid a sales slump.
