Left Coast Law Requires Fingerprints For Munition Sales

Another erosion of our individual freedom and a striking blow to our 2nd Amendment rights in yet another move towards the left in my disastrous home-state of California.
Here’s what our pathetic RINO California Governor just signed into law:
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a bevy of bills into law, including one that will require ammunition sellers to collect and keep information from all buyers, including a thumbprint, signature and driver’s license data.
Internet and mail-order sales will be eliminated, because sales must happen in person. Read the bill here.
The governor’s signature reverses his earlier position.
“Although I have previously vetoed legislation similar to this measure, local governments have demonstrated that requiring ammunition vendors to keep records on ammunition sales improves public safety,†Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
The head of Gun Owners of California said the law, which takes effect in 2011, will treat gun owners “like registered sex offenders,†the Los Angeles Times writes .
“We think it was a devastating mistake,†said Sam Paredes, executive director of the group, which represents 30,000 gun owners. In a separate statement, the group elaborates.
Disgraceful act. Also not getting ANY coverage in the mainstream press…what a shock.
All I have to say is if you live in California like I do, you better step up your ammo purchases before Feb 2011. I know I will be.
