Bill to
Restrict Ammunition Sales Rescheduled for Next Week
Please Continue
Contacting the Senate Public Safety Committee!
6/30/09
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.
