CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
This information is
accurate at the time this CAL-ERT was written and originally
distributed. The scheduled times and dates for hearings are
subject to change, by the legislature, with little or no advance
notice. The
NRA Members' Councils
of California will
keep you informed as the legislative situation changes in
Sacramento.
LEGISLATION PENDING:
AB2062 (De
Leon) AMMO SALES RESTRICTIONS
In AB2062, the proponents seek to mandate that all
retail handgun ammunition sales would have to be purchased only in a “face
to face” transaction. Retail purchasers of handgun ammunition would be
registered and fingerprinted at the point of purchase. The provisions of
AB2062 would have a negative impact on the millions of lawful purchasers of
handgun ammunition in California.
- AB2062 WOULD NOT STOP THE SALE OF HANDGUN AMMUNITION TO CRIMINALS!
- AB2062 WILL COST THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
- AB2062 would impose
millions of dollars of startup costs without funding and an annual cost of
millions of dollars on the Department of Justice, “ Significant annual costs
- in the range of several million dollars - for DOJ to create and maintain a
handgun ammunition sales and permit registry.
- AB2062 would create a new misdemeanor crime and penalties, increasing the
costs of local
incarceration and contribute to the already overcrowded prison problem.
- AB2062 would ban the sale of handgun ammunition through the mail order or
via the Internet.
- AB2062 would require the fingerprinting on the millions of retail
purchasers of handgun ammunition.
- AB2062 would require the millions of retail purchasers of handgun
ammunition to fill out registration paperwork at the point of purchase every
time they purchase handgun ammunition.
Consumer Implications
- Handgun ammunition sales registered at the point of sale
- Cost of handgun ammunition purchasers permit is $35.00
NO PERMIT = NO AMMO!
- Handgun ammunition purchasers permit is valid for
only 5 years
- Handgun ammunition purchasers permit processing can take up to 30 days
with the Department of Justice.
- Purchasers would be restricted so that they would be allowed to transfer
only 50 cartridges to another
person every month unless they are licensed by the government.
- Each handgun ammunition purchaser would pay a $3.00 fee --- per
transaction
- Only face to face transfers/sales of handgun
ammunition
would be allowed.
This would
end all Internet and mail order handgun ammunition sales
Firearms Dealer Implications
- New license required to sell handgun ammunition
- Handgun ammunition must be secured so there is no access by the consumer.
