LEGISLATIVE ALERT!!!
June 5, 2014
AMMUNITION BUYER REGISTRATION BILL SET FOR HEARING NEXT TUESDAY!!
!!!IMMEDIATE ACTION IS CRITICAL: PROPOSED LEGISLATION WOULD BE DEVASTATING TO HUNTERS AND OTHER LAWFUL USERS OF AMMUNITION!!!
SB 53 WOULD REQUIRE THAT YOU PASS A DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE BACKGROUND CHECK AND PAY AN AUTHORIZATION FEE BEFORE YOU CAN BUY AMMUNITION IN CALIFORNIA!
BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF HOW THIS BILL WOULD AFFECT YOU!!
SB 53 (de Leon) Ammunition: purchase permits ? would require that anyone who purchases ammunition, with some exceptions, first be authorized by the State Department of Justice to do so. A fee would be charged for the authorization which requires passage of a background check. Authorization would be valid for two years after which it would have to be renewed.
This would apply to all ammunition and would reinstate the following provisions of law that were previously enacted but did not take effect because of a court ruling that the definition of handgun ammunition used was unconstitutionally vague: 1) Ammunition sales could only be made in a ?face to face? transaction, thus making internet and mail order ammunition sales illegal; 2) The vendor would have to record personal information about the purchaser, including obtaining a signature and thumbprint, and 3) The brand, type, and amount of ammunition purchased would be recorded for each transaction. The purchaser would then be checked by the Department of Justice to determine if he or she is prohibited from owning firearms and ammunition.
SB 53 would apply to all ammunition (rifle, shotgun, and handgun), including hunting ammunition. Ammunition offered for sale could not be on display in a location that is accessible to customers without the assistance of the vendor or a vendor employee.
Ammunition vendors would have to obtain an ammunition vendor license from the Department of Justice.
SB 53 IS STRONGLY OPPOSED; IT IS SET FOR A HEARING ON JUNE 10, 2014 IN THE ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SAFETY.
IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT ALL HUNTERS AND OTHER LAWFUL OWNERS OF FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION IMMEDIATELY CONTACT MEMBERS OF THE ASSEMBLY PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE AND OTHER LEGISLATORS, ESPECIALLY THOSE REPRESENTING THE LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS IN WHICH THEY LIVE, TO URGE THEM NOT TO PASS SB 53!
THIS BILL WOULD DO NOTHING TO SOLVE PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE USE OF A FIREARM, BUT WOULD GREATLY INTEREFERE WITH THE USE OF FIREARMS BY LAWFUL INDIVIDUALS FOR HUNTING AND OTHER LEGAL PURPOSES!!!
