AB962 Passed! Buy Your Ammo before 2/1/11

AB962, the bill that would restrict ammunition sales in California was signed into law by Governor Schwarzennegger.

This measure would require vendors of handgun ammunition to keep a log of information on handgun ammunition sales (including purchaser's fingerprints) and require the face to-face transfer of ammunition sales.
It goes into effect February 1, 2011.

It makes one wonder what the point of such a law is? It would seem it is just another restriction on ammo in hopes of simply discouraging its purchase. Or as Schwarzennegger says, "to arrest and prosecute persons who have no business possessing firearms and ammunition."

Assemblyman Curt Hagman has pledged to help repeal AB962. While I cannot endorse Hagman, I would like to see this bill repealed.

In better news, Schwarzennegger did veto an attempt to ban gun shows from Cow Palace in San Francisco.
