B.S. Editorial on AB962

Here's what "the other side" is reading.

And here's my favorite part:

"It would not stop the sale," [Deleon] emphasized, but it would provide a record that law enforcement could later check.

Wait a second. Did I just read the author of the bill readily admitting that it will not stop a single round of ammunition getting into the hands of criminals? In a sympathetic editorial, no less? Yep, I did.

Maybe the next step, once it is realized how worthless this law is, will be to run NICS background checks every time you want to buy ammo.

It wouldn't stop the sale - the bill doesn't claim to stop it unless otherwise not allowed to. It is designed to restrict and record the sales.

It will add several charges for gang members with ammunition (as strangely defined in several subsections).
