In spite of the Supreme Court ruling on the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution, and in the face of rising opposition to its continuing and rampant disregard of public opinion regarding anything and everything, the California State Legislature is soon to consider two bills designed to curtail the ownership of guns.
Sponsored by Assembly Member Kevin De Leon and scheduled to be heard on June 30th, Assembly Bill 962 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 kept in dealers' records and subject to inspection by the Department of Justice. Lastly, mail order ammunition sales would be prohibited. Obviously, this legislation would drive ammunition sales to Arizona, Nevada and Oregon, including the tax revenues. It makes less sense than Prohibition.
Also scheduled to be heard June 30th, Senate Bill 585, introduced by State Senator Mark Leno, would prohibit the sale of firearms and ammunition on the property or inside the buildings that comprise the the nationally famous Cow Palace. In short, SB585 is a stepping-stone to banning gun shows on all publicly-owned property in California. Once again, the legislature is hell-bent on driving revenues out of the state to Reno and Las Vegas.
And you wonder why California is bankrupt?
