UPDATE 2: Get active, there's an email link if you're too lazy to fax or telephone:
I know this has been brought up, but this is really important. Please call this number and vote no for AB962 and AB585. It only takes 2-3 minutes, if not less.
These laws only affect California, but I think those of you out of state can still get votes in. Number: 916-445-2841 For AB962: Step 1: Call the number in the subject Step 2: Press 1 for English. Step 3: Press 2 for commenting on a bill on the Governor’s desk Step 4: Press 2 for AB962 Step 5: Press 2 for Oppose Step 6: Repeat as necessary (preferably once or twice a day). AB585: Step 1: Call the number in the subject Step 2: Press 1 for English. Step 3: Press 2 for commenting on a bill on the Governor’s desk Step 4: Press 3 for AB962 Step 5: Press 2 for Oppose Step 6: Repeat as necessary (preferably once or twice a day). Check this link to send an email to oppose these bills! Link Don't let these laws pass... now is your chance to help out. It doesn't cost you anything but a few minutes of your time. Tell your friends and family members to do the same. Thanks for your time. ––––––––––––––––––––––––- There's also a gun show ban (Senate Bill 585 (Leno)) coming up for a vote. Hit the phones and fax machines, Californians! Sponsored by Assembly Member Kevin De Leon (D-45), AB962 would make it a crime to privately transfer more than 50 rounds of ammunition per month, even between family and friends, unless you are registered as a “handgun ammunition vendor” in the Department of Justice’s database. Ammunition retailers would have to be licensed and store ammunition in such a manner that it would be inaccessible to purchasers. The bill would also require that purchasers submit to fingerprinting, which would be kept in dealers' records and subject to inspection by the Department of Justice. Lastly, mail order ammunition sales would be prohibited.
Last week, the Senate Appropriations Committee passed Assembly Bill 962 out of committee. The bill will now move to the Senate floor for a vote very soon. Link. UPDATE, BAD NEWS: Assembly Bill 962 & Senate Bill 585 Pass in CA BAD NEWS!!!! Both of these bills will likely be headed to the Governor’s desk for either his signature or veto. It is my recommendation that you contact Governor Schwarzenegger’s office to express your displeasure with these two measures. He can be reached at 916-445-2841

LOL, good luck enforcing that one DOJ. |

CA has tried this multiple times. It hasn't worked yet, I doubt it will now.

I believe that this is also a preview for what may come to ALL of us...............

Quoted:
Does this mean more mail order ammo for us in Free States? Perhaps, but it is a high cost in the way of freedom. |
|
Quoted:
If this passes, reloading should take off in CA. You can bet Reno will be cleaned out of ammo on a regular basis if they make it really hard to get. |

Fuck California...anyone who stays there gets what they deserve. after they go completely belly-up and the Hollywoodies leave, they'll beg the profitable firearm and ammunition manufacturers to come to their state...

No they won't. Their presence in the House and Senate will spread the misery around. As goes California, so goes the U.S.. Their laws will become your laws. Democrat Presidents will bend to their will b/c of all the electoral votes. |

If this ever passes, check points will be set up on CA state boarders with dogs or chemical sniffers to control private transport, (smuggling), from AZ or NV.
It could very well pass this time. |

|
Quoted:
Why would anyone ever need more than 50 rounds of ammo per second? Fixed it. |
|
sounds more like a money making scheme.
So, if you are at the range with your dad, and you say, "Hey Pop, hand me that box of ammo", and it happens to be a 200round value pack, and there is an agent at the range... you get fined? Stay classy, Cali. And, whatever you do, stay there. Stop moving up here. Seriously. |

And if sufficiant quantaties of ammo are being smuggled, they, (CA), will find the money. Ever noticed the radiation \ gamma ray detectors at truck stops? Simple technology. |

Good, maybe the war on ammo can be as "successful" as the war on drugs. Then I can buy ammo on any street corner for half the price I'm paying now. |

Quoted: If this ever passes, check points will be set up on CA state boarders with dogs or chemical sniffers to control private transport, (smuggling), from AZ or NV. The answer is simple. The military will have to blockade all trade and immigration with California until their nutty laws are rescinded. Not like there's anything to MISS from California... I think we can do without tainted food picked by mexicans and Hollywood's garbage for a year or two while we starve out the legislature. |

I have never heard of a junky not being able get his/her fix but there are times when my local wal mart doesn't have 10mm ammo. |

I don't think that the general population cares that much, do they?

Quoted:
I believe that this is also a preview for what may come to ALL of us............... Doubt it. The backlash that would result in the passing of such a law nationwide would be the end of the Democratic party. I don't care what happens in California. That place is far too gone to salvage and needs to implode for its own good and the good of the nation. |

I really don't see this getting too far. The Calguns Foundation and the Second Amendment Foundation has a great tradition in slapping these things around.
I am curious about the gun show ban, since (IIRC) one of the Sons of Heller incorporation cases specifically dealt with a gun show ban. |

All you nay sayers, remember that wacky law about the gun imprinting ID info about the gun on every cartridge case that it fired?
Remember saying, "That's just TOO stupid! There's no way they would ever pass a turkey like that." |

No more than 50 rnds (one fucking box) of ammo a month??
Good times for CA. |

If folks stay diligent, they should be able to aquire 600 rnds per year. Not exactly SHTF material, but hey........it's for the children.

Microstamping legislation was passed in California (AB 1471), signed into law on October 14, 2007, and will be mandatory starting in 2010. Law enforcement is specifically exempted. |

About 18 months ago, before I moved out, I was checked by a CHP officer at a gun range. I was shooting a Beretta 92F and had several 15 rd. mags. This was after the ban on 10+ rd mags. I think it was called the Sunnyvale Gun Club, down by a reservoir. I had had the weapon since 1986 and was fine, but they damn sure checked. I have had friends checked as well when shooting AR's. Just another reason I left the place. |
