Assembly Bill 962 is scheduled to be heard by the Assembly Committee on Appropriations on Wednesday, April 6.
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_0951-1000/ab_962_bill_20090226_introduced.html
Sponsored by Assembly Member Kevin De Leon (D-45), AB962 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 submitted to the Department of Justice. Lastly, mail order ammunition sales would be prohibited.
Please contact the members of the Assembly Committee on Appropriations TODAY and respectfully urge them to oppose AB962. Contact information for the committee can be found below.

This will greatly affect all future Appleseeds in California and has the potential of halting future efforts here. Please contact your representatives and voice your opinion. I have already emailed and sent letters to the above representatives. I understand that Sacramento and LA has a similar fingerprinting and ID process already in place, where as other parts of the state do not.
ammo restriction ------- this is starting to sound familiar

Ammunition Sales Restrictions One Step Closer to Defeat
Assembly Committee on Appropriations Places AB962 into the Suspense File
Today, Assembly Bill 962 was placed in the suspense file by the Assembly Committee on Appropriations.
Sponsored by Assembly Member Kevin De Leon (D-45), AB962 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 submitted to the Department of Justice. Lastly, mail order ammunition sales would be prohibited.
While this development is a solid step towards defeating AB962, the bill still poses a threat. Please continue checking your email and www.NRAILA.org for updates.
Careful my friends...
We have recently been admonished ( http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=3755.msg65083#msg65083) about threads like this on the working forum. It may be a good idea to carry on this discussion via PMs, the Appleseed blog, or e-mail, lest California receive a clown bat wallop publicly.
thanks for the heads up BD, i'm not spending as much time here, unless looking for ideas. I'm on promotion mode right now. I'll try and keep my posts appleseed related.
