CALIFORNIA AMMUNITION REGISTRATION BILL SUSPENDED . . . Thanks in large part to the efforts of the California Association of Firearms Retailers (CAFR), NSSF and others, anti-gun/anti-business bill AB 962 has been suspended. Among other things, the bill would have required that handgun ammunition buyers make their purchases in person (not by mail order or the Internet), that handgun ammunition not be displayed by retailers in a location where customers can have access to it, that retailers record and maintain consumers' personal information (including fingerprint) when purchasing ammunition and finally retailers/or individuals who sell more than one box (50 rounds) of handgun ammunition per month must obtain an ammunition sellers permit. Though the bill has been suspended, that does not mean the battle is won. NSSF urges all retailers and gun owners to continue to voice their opposition to this bill to ensure it will not be taken out off the suspension calendar. Please visit your local retailer to sign a petition.
