Those of you in California that own firearms, need to start calling or writing your representatives and voice your opposition.
Read and weep. It's not going to stop unless we defeat this and them during the next election. I've had it with the stupid stupid stupid laws that get passed. Bolded sections are mine for emphasis.
Bill Analysis:
The bill would establish a database maintained by the department to
serve as a registry of handgun ammunition vendors. The bill would also
establish a database of handgun ammunition permittees.
This bill would require that commencing July 1, 2009, unless
specifically excluded, no person shall sell or transfer more than 50
rounds of handgun ammunition in any month unless they are registered
as a handgun ammunition vendor, as defined. The bill would also require
these vendors to obtain a background clearance for 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 subject
to civil fines, as specified a misdemeanor.
By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated
local program.
The bill would also provide that no retail seller of ammunition shall
sell, offer for sale, or display for sale, any handgun ammunition in a
manner that allows that ammunition to be accessible to a purchaser
without the assistance of the retailer or employee thereof. Violation of
these provisions would be subject to civil fines, as specified.
The bill would further provide that handgun ammunition may only
be purchased in a face-to-face transaction and only if certain conditions
exist.
Existing law generally regulates what information is required to be
obtained in connection with the transfer of ammunition.
This bill would, subject to exceptions, commencing July 1, 2009,
require certain ammunition vendors to obtain a thumbprint and other
information from ammunition purchasers, and would require submission
of that information to the Department of Justice, as specified. A violation
of these provisions would be subject to civil fines, as specified a
misdemeanor.
This bill would provide that a person enjoined from engaging in
activity associated with a criminal street gang, as specified, would be
prohibited from having under his or her possession custody or control,
any ammunition. Violation of these provisions would be a misdemeanor.
The bill would prohibit supplying or delivering, as specified, handgun
ammunition to prohibited persons, as described, by persons or others
who know or have cause to believe the recipient is a persons prohibited
from possessing ammunition. Violation of these provisions is a
misdemeanor with specified penalties.
By creating new crimes, this bill would impose a state-mandated local
program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.
The bill number is AB2062 and the full text is at http://www.assembly.ca.gov/acs/acsframeset2text.htm (http://www.assembly.ca.gov/acs/acsframeset2text.htm) type 2062 and then click on HTM or PDF.
