Sacramento, CA - The State Assembly has passed Assembly Bill 962, by a vote of 42-31. AB 962 now heads to the Senate, where it has been assigned to the Senate Public Safety Committee. The bill, sponsored by Assemblyman Kevin de Leon (D-Los Angeles), would make it a crime to privately transfer more than 50 rounds of ammunition per month.Ammunition retailers would have to be licensed, and would be required to store ammunition in such a manner that it would be inaccessible to purchasers.

The bill would also require purchasers submit to fingerprinting, which would be submitted to the Department of Justice. Additionally, mail order ammunition sales would be prohibited. The bill would essentially criminalize the transfer of one box of ammunition to even a family member or friend, unless you are registered as a "handgun ammunition vendor" in the Department of Justice's database.

Local Assemblymen Anthony Adams (R-Hesperia), Paul Cook (R-Yucca Valley) and Bill Emmerson (R-Redlands) voted against AB 962.

Sounds like a good money making opportunity to me.

Anybody know of an acre or two of land just across the border into Arizona or Nevada?

That’s what happens here in TX when a county is “dry”.

Good idea but they will just outlaw that too.

.
Buy your ammo from the criminals — they will transport a much larger quantity of ammo per month.

thank God for Tom Burcynsk... an old friend and inventor of the Hydra-Shok.

Man, I’m glad I left Cali for a free state.

A Capitalist speaks.

Prime locations:

Exit 1, Interstate 10, Arizona

Exit 2, Interstate 8, Yuma, Arizona

California is broke and this is what these asshats are concerning themselves with? Lets see how this works out when the population starts moving away from California. WTF are they going to do then?...make it illegal to move?

[Chode]

i'm up to the ambush after sighting in the M-16's...

[airborne]

Get ‘em while they’re legal!

Best reason I have seen yet why I will never live again in California.

Used to get so bad here dry counties would put undercover cops in the parking lots of booze joints just across the county line taking license plate numbers and car descriptions, radioing them to compadres that would stop the offenders on the way home. Crazy, but once again was nothing but a revenue generator.

Amazingly totalitarian.

Don't kid yourself that they won't. NJ charges an exit tax if you sell your property and move out of state.

I think in time...numbered in months perhaps... it will be a moot point. People will simply leave because there won't be jobs and our currency will be worthless. At that point, they can toss what little they have into a bag, and start walking and just abandon whatever they had there....especially in population centers. It's not going to matter.

Buy stock in Lyman, RCBS and Dillion Precision.

[TigersEye]

I’m afraid you may very well be right.

[GunsAndBibles]

Wow, this is really under the radar. I just went to the Sacramento Bee website, couldn’t find a word about it there. Not entirely surprising though.
Wonder if our action-hero governor will sign it?

I was thinking more of fireworks stands just outside of areas where sales are prohibited, but the liquor store is another fine example.

You know... Some laws are so incredibly stupid as to be unenforceable, especially when sensible citizens know and refuse to to surrender their inalienable, constitutional RIGHTS!!!

The thing is, it hasn't passed the senate yet. The assembly is like the house of Reps in the fed gov. So it has come out of assembly and must pass the Senate, the real battle begins now. He** we already got it cut down from all ammo and reloading components to handgun ammo and I think we will beat it in the house, and the California NRA will file a law suit against it if it does pass. It is clearly unconstitutional. They did this once before with handgun ammo back in the 70s or 80s, the only difference was you didn't have to give a thumbprint. It didn't last long and this one won't either.

So, no, we are not lost yet and this crap is just a little deeper hole that the dimwits and RINOs have dug for themselves. Add it to the economy blunders and it looks bad for incumbents.
