State of California considers ammunition sale restriction
Some people have observed that ‘as goes California, so goes the USA’…sadly too often they are right.
The California legislature is considering AB 962.
“This bill would require that commencing July 1, 2010, unless
specifically excluded, no person shall sell or transfer more than 50
rounds of handgun ammunition in any month unless he or she is
registered as a handgun ammunition vendor, as defined. The bill would
also require these vendors to obtain a background clearance.

those employees who would handle ammunition in the course and scope
of their employment. The bill would require the Department of Justice
to maintain a registry of registered handgun ammunition vendors, as
specified. Violation of these provisions, as specified, would be a

The average Californian would be allowed by the government to buy no more than 50 rounds of ammunition per month. That’s 600 rounds per year. I have shot more than 600 rounds of ammunition in a single shooting competition in California.
This legislation clearly is a ‘back door’ attack on the 2nd amendment.
The bill’s sponsors Kevin De Leon and Bonnie Lowenthal would likely turn a tin-ear to complaints from US citizen voters but there is a possibility Governor Schwarzenegger will veto it.
If you find this ammunition sale restriction onerous, please contact Gov. Schwarzenegger:
