California Assembly to Consider Severe Restrictions on Ammunition Sales!
Wednesday, March 19, 2008
Stand Up and Make Your Voice Heard Today!
Next Wednesday, March 25, the Assembly Public Safety Committee will consider legislation that would require gun owners to obtain a “permit-to-purchase” before buying handgun ammunition.
Introduced by State Assembly Member Kevin De Leon (D-45), Assembly Bill 2062 puts ammunition sales in the crosshairs. AB2062 would require that law-abiding gun owners obtain a permit to buy handgun ammunition and would impose severe restrictions on the private transfers of handgun ammunition. Applicants for a “permit-to-purchase” would be required to submit to a background check, pay a $35 fee, and wait as long as 30 days to receive the permit.
Under AB2062, it would be unlawful to privately transfer more than 50 rounds of ammunition per month, even between family and friends, unless you are registered as a “handgun ammunition vendor” in the Department of Justice’s database. Ammunition retailers would have to be licensed and store ammunition in such a manner that it would be inaccessible to purchasers. The bill would also require vendors to keep a record of the transaction including the ammunition buyer’s name, driver’s license, the quantity, caliber and type of ammunition purchased, and right thumbprint, which would be submitted to the Department of Justice or the number of his handgun ammunition purchase permit. Vendors would be required to contact the purchase permit database, to verify the validity of a permit before completing a sale. All ammunition sales in the State of California would be subject to a $3 per transaction tax. Lastly, mail order ammunition sales would be prohibited. Any violator of AB2062 would be subject to civil fines.

If you can’t ban the guns, ban the ammo.
Imagine what would happen if a D majority rules in Congress
and the White House...
If the california socialist thugs want to arm themselves while disarming the public, let them carry rocks and clubs like the rest of the neanderthals.
And so it begins.
One of my inventions (now patented) involved soldering metal spheres in a specific pattern on the back of a PWB to enhance thermal transfer. While building the prototypes for testing, I called my wife and asked her to pick up some raw materials (BBs) for me on her way home from work.
The clerk at first refused to sell her BBs (copper-plated iron balls) because she didn't have a FID Card. He changed his tune in a hurry when she pulled out her "For All Lawful Purposes" CCW license, and asked, "Will this do?"
LOL!!
Yes, you numb nut politicians, law-abiding citizens are the problem. Just like your personal armed security guards are, and your police escorts, your sheriffs, your FBI agents, and your armed servicemen are.
They will never admit honest law abiding gun owners are not the problem. Law-abiding gun owners are not the ones committing gun crimes. These politicians are insane.
If you and they were in a room and a gun-carrying criminal burst in and threatened to shoot them, and you had your gun, what would they want you to do? Most would say if they were honest, to friggin’ shoot the criminal. A few would say, well I guess It’d be my time to die. They’d rather have you unable to help them than allow you to carry a gun and have a chance to save them.
And will result in the biggest black market in ammo sales ever seen in this country. My guess is those promoting this legislation have ties with the Mexican underground who will be funneling proceeds the candidate's way to further their careers.
Any politico that can be connected to the Mexican Mafia and the money's generated via this legislation should be taken to the front gates of the California Exposition and executed by firing squad- live on TV.
Implicit in this is that all ammo sales are going to be recorded. So when it’s time to confiscate your firearms, all they’ll have to do is see who’s buying ammo.
Cool! Maybe I can setup a little farm stand on the side of the road that sells ammo and smokes.
Seriously, I wonder how many Dillon progressive reloaders will get sold in the near future out in California?
Why don’t we just give Kalifornia to Mexico?
Buy Buy Buy !!!! now
