PLEASE pass this on to everyone you know and emplore them to contact everyone they know in Kommiefornia. While this bill is currently in the Kalifornia state senate, if the precedent is set, we can be assured that the other Dems/Libs will try to get it implemented nationwide! ACT NOW!
Here's the gist of the bill:
AB 362 (De Leon) would require that all handgun ammunition buyers be registered at the time of each purchase with the State Department of Justice (DOJ).
AMMUNITION BUYER AND SELLER REGISTRATION BILL
AB 362 (de Leon) OPPOSE
AB 362 (De Leon) would require that all handgun ammunition buyers be registered at the time of each purchase with the State Department of Justice (DOJ). The registration information to be obtained by the ammunition seller would include: a) the date of the transaction, b) the name, address, and date of birth of the buyer, c) the buyer's driver's license or other identification number, and their right thumbprint, d) the brand, type, and amount of ammunition purchased, e) the buyer's signature, and f) the salesperson's name.
This bill would also require that 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 with DOJ.
It would require ammunition vendors to obtain a background clearance for employees who handle ammunition in the course and scope of their employment.
AB 362 would further mandate that no retail seller of ammunition shall sell, offer for sale, or display for sale, any handgun ammunition in a manner that allows ammunition to be accessible to a purchaser without the assistance of the retailer or employee thereof. Violation of these provisions would be punishable as an infraction with a fine of $500, or as a misdemeanor.
Finally, AB 362 would further provide that handgun ammunition, which includes reloading components, may only be purchased in a face-to-face transaction. This would do away with all mail or internet purchases by lawful California users of handgun ammunition.
The author has stated that he will be amending the bill later to require costly criminal and mental history background checks for handgun ammunition buyers each time they buy ammunition!!!!
IF THIS BILL PASSES, IT WILL NOT BE LONG BEFORE IT IS EXPANDED TO COVER ALL AMMUNITION PURCHASES OF ANY TYPE!!!
IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED!!!!
It is important that every sportsman and other owners of firearms immediately contact the members of the State Senate to oppose AB 362!!!
Also contact your own district legislators in the Senate. Make sure that each one is aware that you oppose this bill!

IMPORTANT!!!
Many legislators are freshman, elected in last November's statewide elections. They critically need to hear from their own constituents in order to help determine their positions!!!
Don't forget, they are your public servants, and they need to hear from you!!!
Don't let the "antis" mobilize more contacts with legislators than us!!!
Again, legislators mostly want to hear from their own constituents!!!
Be sure to contact yours first, but then go to work on the others!!
Your action is needed now if we are to have success!!!
Please Act Today!!!
PLEASE copy this to all your other bulletin boards, MySpace, e-mail lists, etc. We NEED to get the word out!
