California Assembly to Consider Severe
Restrictions on Ammunition Sales!
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.

Please contact the members of the Assembly Public Safety Committee and your State Assembly Member TODAY and respectfully urge them to oppose this onerous attack on our Second Amendment freedoms.

Wow, I guess the surrounding states will get a lot of business in ammo sales then.

[Deborah K]

Assuming of course, we aren't stopped at state border check points. I live Cali, this is upsetting to me. I'll be busy tomorrow raising hell on the phone....

Maybe they like the idea of a black market in ammo.

It isn't called the land of fruits and nuts for nothing.

I live right on the border with Nevada and ammo is available and cheap, in fact most things are far cheaper there. I have been on the phone quite a bit lately concerning the Real ID, which I want nothing to do with, and never even thought to bring this up; perhaps I should. The checkpoints are "agricultural" and I have never even been stopped coming back through although it would be scary if they included ammunitions. Stock up now....

Wouldn't it be nice to just live in peace and freedom and not have your life disrupted by some f**kleheads behind a desk somewhere?

Wouldn't it be nice to just live in peace and freedom and not have your life disrupted by some f**kleheads behind a desk somewhere?

....or in our state assembly? Yes, it would be nice. I'm bumping this and asking those of you who live in or know people who live in Cali to please forward this email to them. Unless they are members of the NRA, they will never get wind of this.

I have notified as many in the media as I can, but I could use some help here. See, what's happening is that since they can't constitutionally take away our weapons, they're going after our ammo. And, as you all know, Cali is the guinea pig for ridiculous, cumbersome, freedom absconding laws that many times are enacted later in YOUR states.

We have to kill this now.

I live here in CA.
We have the best weather & the WORST LAWS!!!!
I think people & politicians here have totally lost their minds on this one.
When I visit some other states there is ammo in WalMart type stores that is just on the shelf to be casually tossed in your cart along with your spam, motor oil, and other misc. household goods.
Those states have less hand gun violence than CA. ?????
hey CA politicians.... Don't look to the cost of living here and the fact that the big cities have massively poverty stricken areas. Look to the fact that stores sell bullets... Yeah keep up that genius. MORONS.
