We are writing to inform you of pending legislation that will restrict purchases of handgun ammunition in California and will terminate our ability to service your needs for certain products.
On Friday, Sept. 11, the California Assembly passed Assembly Bill 962, by a 44-31 vote.
Among other regulations, AB 962 would:
Ban all mail-order and Internet sales of handgun ammunition.
Prohibit the retail sale, the offer for sale or the display of handgun ammunition in a
manner that allows ammunition to be accessible to a purchaser without assistance of a
vendor or employee.
Require that the delivery or transfer of ownership of handgun ammunition occur in a
face-to-face transaction, with the deliverer or transferor being provided bona fide
evidence of identity of the purchaser or other transferee.
That evidence of identity, which must be legibly recorded at the time of delivery, includes:
The right thumbprint of the purchaser or transferee.
The date of the sale or other transaction.
The purchaser's or transferee's driver's license or other identification number and the
state in which it was issued.
The brand, type and amount of ammunition sold or otherwise transferred.
The purchaser's or transferee's signature.
The name of the salesperson who processed the sale or other transaction.
The purchaser's or transferee's full residential address and telephone number.
The purchaser's or transferee's date of birth.
The bill is on the desk of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, where it awaits his consideration. He will have until Oct. 11 to sign or veto the bill. If he does not veto the bill, it will become law.
Seems pretty crappy to me to have a law like this. It just amounts to a back door ban in my opinion.
what do you think?
