Assembly Committee on Appropriations Places AB962 into the Suspense File
NRA Email:
Today, Assembly Bill 962 was placed in the suspense file by the Assembly Committee on Appropriations.
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 submitted to the Department of Justice. Lastly, mail order ammunition sales would be prohibited.
While this development is a solid step towards defeating AB962, the bill still poses a threat.
