California Governor Signs Severe Ammunition Restrictions


NEW LAW REQUIRES RETAILERS TO KEEP LOG OF AMMO BUYERS . . . California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, flip-flopping on legislation he vetoed five years ago, has signed into law legislation (AB 962) that will require retailers to keep a log of ammunition buyers. "Earlier on Sunday, the governor vetoed a piece of firearms legislation, SB 41, far less burdensome to retailers than AB 962, stating it was too cumbersome and of no real value to law enforcement," said NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel Lawrence G. Keane. "Ironically, this is the same reason the governor used to veto ammunition registration in 2004, before he flip-flopped late Sunday night." NSSF and the California Association of Firearms Retailers were highly critical of the governor's decision to sign the bill.
