On Tuesday, April 8, 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.

What happens in Vegas, flies down I15 in a hundred thousand trunks.
Nice, this would make me an instant outlaw.
Probably stating the obvious to predict a massive lawsuit by the NRA and others if this stupid, criminal idea is ever enacted.
Hopefully, the “Governator” would abandon his RINOistic tendancies and veto it. Such a move in and of itself might not prevent it from becoming law but it might raise the passage requirement sufficiently to defeat it.
Did this pass or something?
This bill already passed the Assembly. They took out the purchase permit, but left everything else, including a ban on mail order ammo sales. The bill is now in the state senate awaiting consideration. It will very likely pass there and end up on Arnolds desk. If he does not veto it, it will become law.
This is AMERICA’S future if the McCain haters decide they’d rather have hussein obama as president.
Yeah, but at least they aren’t trampling on your Constitutional rights //sarc off
WAY behind the times. Here in MA all lawful gun owners must register with the Criminal Records System Board and may not move without first notifying the CRSB, the chief of police in the old town, and the chief of police in the new town by Certified Mail. MA is truly a stinking Liberal cesspit but I am damned if they are gonna run me out.

One of these days, those of you sane people still living in Massachusetts are going to figure out that the freedoms guaranteed to you by the US Constitution do not become invalid because you live in a state that claims otherwise.
The SocialistMarxistDemoLibs would never know I have any guns.
My guess, it will become law. California needs a few million more criminals as residents. The hard part is when LEO’s start enforcing this law. They may just run into a few wacko’s who can’t stand the idea of the State confiscating their ammo and the shootouts will begin!
Yeah, he’d never side with Democrats on any subject. We’d be safe.
Your tagline is sexist. Thought I’d throw that in.
Um. See ya! :)
WHOOOOOOOOO boy. Bye now.
I am going to tell your husband that you have been lookin at my sexy tagline.
See ya. :>)
