I am counting the days until I leave this state. There is nothing quite like punishing law abiding citizens and charging them for the privilige.

The California Assembly is considering a bill this session that, if passed, will have serious repercusions for California's law-abiding gun owners.

This bill, AB2062, scheduled to be heard on Wednesday, May 7 would require that law-abiding gun owners obtain a permit to buy handgun ammunition and would impose severe restrictions on the private transfers of handgun ammunition. Applicants for a "permit-to-purchase" would be required to submit to a background check, pay a $35 fee, and wait as long as 30 days to receive the permit.

Under AB2062, it would be unlawful 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 vendors to keep a record of the transaction including the ammunition buyer's name, driver's license, the quantity, caliber, type of ammunition purchased, and right thumbprint, which would be submitted to the Department of Justice. Vendors would be required to contact the purchase permit database to verify the validity of a permit before completing a sale. All ammunition sales in the State of California would be subject to a $3 per transaction tax. Mail order ammunition sales would be prohibited. Any violator of AB2062 would be subject to civil fines.

Don't ever try to tell me that Democrats/liberals don't want to take our guns.
