California AB962 Ammunition Ban Rescheduled
There are still a few days before the California State Senate Public Safety Committee considers AB 962 (is AB for Ammunition Ban? maybe so) . . .
From the NRA-ILA:
As we reported last week, Assembly Bill 962 was scheduled to be considered today by the Senate Public Safety Committee. The bill has been rescheduled and will be considered on Tuesday, July 7.
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 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.
Please continue to contact the members of the Senate Public Safety Committee and respectfully urge them to oppose AB962. Contact information can be found below.
SENATE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE:
State Senator Mark Leno (D-3) – Chair
(916) 651-4003
senator.leno@senate.ca.govState Senator John J. Benoit (R-37) - Vice-Chair
(916) 651-4037State Senator Gilbert Cedillo (D-22)
(916) 651-4022State Senator Loni Hancock (D-9)
(916) 651-4009State Senator Robert Huff (R-29)
(916) 651-4029State Senator Darrell Steinberg (D-6)
(916) 651-4006State Senator Roderick Wright (D-25)
(916) 651-4025
When all the (D) votes above are counted, this measure will most likely be passed on to the next committee or to the Senate. I would be surprised by any other outcome. I will also be surprised if the Senate does NOT send it to Ahnold’s office. Don’t forget the Govenator signed the ludicrous micro-stamping law and who knows what he’ll do with this one?
It’s time for us (that’s you and me, California citizens) to get on this now and in the future. We also need to support the California Rifle and Pistol Association and the NRA when they challenge this nonsense in court.

The best place to find breaking news and information is on the California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA) website. If you’re in California and not a member, consider joining CRPA.
I believe that this bill passed in the Public Safety Committee and is headed to the State Senate Appropriations Committee,
