Fight Gun/Ammo Restrictions!

(California)

CA State Assembly Bill AB 962 would require that all lawful purchases of handgun ammunition be registered and the ammunition seller must keep the records on the premises for review by law enforcement.
It would also require that ammunition buyers make their purchases in person, not by mail order or the internet.

The authors of this bill are Kevin De Leon (D - 45th District) and Bonnie Lowenthal (D - 54th District).

This Bill is moving fast.
Assembly Bill 962 is scheduled to be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee on Monday, 7/20/2009. Please contact the members of the committee and urge a NO vote on AB 962.

To whom it may concern:
I am writing to express my opposition to AB 962 which would require that all lawful purchases of handgun ammunition be registered to the buyer by the ammunition seller who must keep the records on the premises for review by law enforcement.
It would also require that ammunition buyers must make their purchases in person, not by mail order or the internet, that handgun ammunition not be displayed by retailers in a location where customers can have access to it, thus necessitating that the retailer obtain it from storage upon the specific request of a potential buyer, and other related provisions. AB 962 is unnecessary, costly and would be a burden to lawful dealers and lawful ammunition buyers. If its purpose is to prevent crimes involving the use or possession of a handgun, it would be ineffective.
Those who would use firearms and ammunition illegally can, and do, easily obtain them from out of
state sources or from the local underground marketplace. This bill would affect only lawful
businesses and individuals. It would have no deterrent effect on criminals.
The damage it would do to retailers and their customers is substantial and unjustifiable. Accordingly,
I am strongly opposed to the enactment of AB 962.
