California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a severe gun control measure into law. Assembly Bill 962, which takes effect on February 1, 2011, mandates that individuals purchasing ammunition be fingerprinted and registered and outlaws mail order ammunition purchases. The bill also requires dealers to maintain these records indefinitely. Ammunition retailers will also be required to store ammunition away from purchasers. AB 962 failed to garner support from Attorney General Brown, or any law enforcement organization; 15 sheriffs wrote letters of opposition to this legislation.
COMMENTS:
As if anyone planning to commit a crime of any kind with a gun is going to comply. All this will do is force criminals t head for a neighboring state to buy ammo and it will create a black market for ammo sales. It will be a nuisance for legal gun owners and is likely to decrease income for gun and ammo shops. Similar laws enacted in other states have been repealed because they failed to reduce gun crime.
