OAKLAND, Calif. -- A California assemblywoman introduced a bill on Monday that aims to regulate ammunition sales.

The measure, AB48, would establish restrictions similar to those covering gun sales, including requiring sellers to be licensed and buyers to have and show valid identification.

"When we have so many safeguards in place around the purchase of guns, why is it so much easier to buy bullets, the things that make guns deadly?" Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner asked as she unveiled the measure during a news conference outside her office in Oakland.

"Today, it is easier in California to buy bullets than it is to buy alcohol, cigarettes or Sudafed cold medicine. We've had enough," she said...

If that law passes than Reno and Vegas will be getting more than just casino business from California.

It’s as good as passed. We handed the State Legislature completely over to the democrats last Nov. Now we gotta pay the price.

Little Nancy thinks bullets are “the things that make guns deadly”, when in reality it’s evil people. Try controlling them first, beeatch.

California-feh!

A state of mindless liberal homos who live and vote beyond their means expecting real Americans to obey not Sacramento but their real power assholes in Hollywood.

If not for the San Andreas Fault their would be no hope there.

I keep telling people California is the land where all political insanity in the US begins. So nice of them to keep proving me right.

We should call them the ‘knee jerk’ party. I say limit ALL legislatures to two, two-week sessions per year.. These tyrants think it’s their job to pass law after law.. IT’S OUT OF CONTROL!!!

Really? I have never been asked for ID to buy Sudafed or any other cold medicine. Even when I was 16, I was never asked for ID to purchase cigarettes (that has apparently changed since I was 16). And, I can't tell you the last time someone asked me for ID when I purchased alcohol. However, buying ammunition in California has been very difficult. There are more days that the ammo I need is not in stock than there are days in which the ammo is in stock.

“Really? I have never been asked for ID to buy Sudafed”

Have you bought Sudafed lately? You have to present a picture ID, sign a form and then they go get it. You are limited to one purchase in a 30 day period elso you go an a “list”. Courtesy the US Patriot Act.

Where? I loaded up yesterday on .308. I actually gave up 3 boxes because the fellow behind me was there for the same reason. And he looked sad.

Oh, I’m in KahLeeFawNeeYuh....

LOL...I recognized him from the local range. I pushed the 3 boxes aside and told the clerk to let the fella behind me buy em.

Great day. I picked up 3 CRKT Crawford Krenshaw as well.

No ID for anything.
