Assembly Bill 2062, sponsored by State Assembly Member Kevin De Leon (D-45), is scheduled to be considered by the Senate Public Safety Committee on Tuesday, June 17.
AB2062 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 vendors to keep a record of the transaction including the ammunition buyer’s name, driver’s license, the quantity, caliber, type of ammunition purchased, and right thumbprint, which would be submitted to the Department of Justice.
All ammunition sales in the state of California would be subject to a $3 per transaction tax.
Lastly, mail order ammunition sales would be prohibited. Any violator of AB2062 would be subject to civil fines.
Please contact the members of the Senate Public Safety Committee TODAY and respectfully urge them to oppose this onerous attack on our Second Amendment freedoms. Contact information can be found below.

Wow! You gun owners in California had better stick together and start fighting for your rights or you won’t have any left. It’s just amazing to me how all of these anti-gun laws keep passing, crime rates keeps going up and the law-makers in CA. don’t see a relationship. It’s not the guns, it’s all the criminals you have living in your state
I leave in California, and you are right, they can’t see a relationship. But I have to point out that even though many of us try and stick together, it seems like it doesn’t matter, 7 times in the last 10 years, they people have voted for legislation, and won, only to have special interest groups take it to the Supreme Court and have it over turned. California is not a state where democracy exists, it is a land of special interest groups and fear mongers. In my county violent crime is up 21%, and as the economy worsens, that number will go higher. Each new laws puts me more at the mercy of those criminals. I better learn to use a bow and arrow, but they are probably banned next.
If you live in California
MOVE
Leave until the politicians are speaking to noone but criminals. Maybe they’ll notice then.
This would create a bunch of shops just across the border in Nevada where Californians will buy as much ammo as they need – and leave their sales tax dollars there along the way. Great way to help the struggling California budget, Mr. De Leon – yeah – and thanks for making us a national laughingstock right up there with Kansas and their intelligent design!
I live in California, it sucks. The laws are ridiculous about guns. Don’t they understand that most criminals don’t buy guns from licensed dealers and have it registered in their name. That would be incredibly dumb. They get their guns and ammo from private dealers who either steal them or get them out of state. We are disarming the citizens and arming the criminals! geesh…I’m on the wrong side.LOL
This is BS!! I just got my M4 Semi-auto. I got 780 rounds and only have 180 left. I better get my ammo b4 the 1st of july. Bulk ammo was getting so cheap also to plink with at the range. Not that buying in person is a big deal it’s finding the same deal of $400 for 1000 rounds of 5.56 and 7.76×39′s. Guess I need to stock up when the gun shows come to town or find a thug ammo dealer in a dark ally. California laws are F*$%ed but it will be ok to tax the medical MJ clubs and make that leagal. This will be great for the criminals cuz they will have all the good guns to rob the clubs and growers, take the tax revanue and the tax payers will pay for the police to find the thieves. what a downward spiral of crap!!!
The problem is, they do understand, but they want the people that have guns to be at the mercy of the criminal who don’t give a rats patoot about the laws in the first place…Too many Pelosi’s, Boxers and Feinsteins in that putrid state. The big one needs to hit there, and SOON!!
It is becoming impossible to do anything in California.
Everyone is in your business telling you what you can and cant do.
Now we are at an all time unemployment high and crime is up, so what are city’s and counties doing…. laying off law enforcement. Go figure.
I have put myself thru law enforcement acadmey, to find there are no positions, and when there are example. 2 positions. 1500 applicants.
Now with the ammo ban, they are making it impossible for law abiding citizens to protect / defend themselves. Yet criminals will continue to have access to firearms and AMMO !
Will there ever be an end.
