Well, It's Official...

CA just moved ahead of MA for shitty gun laws.

(10-12) 18:28 PDT SACRAMENTO -- People buying ammunition in California will soon have to be thumb-printed and dealers will have to keep records of sales, under legislation that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law.

After vetoing similar bills three times since 2004, Schwarzenegger signed AB962 by Assemblyman Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles, on Sunday, saying he now believes it will promote public safety.Read more: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/10/12/BA551A4M82.DTL#ixzz0TmXyJJBV

It will "promote public safety"? Are you shitting me? This can only make things more dangerous in CA - the danger of trampling alone as gun owners rush to leave the stinking pisshole that is the state of California will increase thousandfold...

Thanks, Governor Schwarzenegger, for helping CA become a shittier place for gun owners than the Volksrepublik...

That is all.

We tried our hardest to get the point across to Arnold, but no luck. I'm also predicting it will cause the few Walmarts that do sell ammo here to stop because of the additional licensing and paperwork required. The last 2000 rounds of handgun ammo that I've bought have been online. Looks like I'm getting into reloading faster than anticipated. My blog post about AB 962 before Arnold signed it:

I was just going to ask, how will this affect reloading in that state? I'd be BEELINING to my PC to order all the dies, primers and such I could.

The way the law defines "handgun ammunition" is anything that can be fired from a handgun with deadly effect. It also specifically excludes blanks. To me that sounds like primed brass would be okay and there's no mention of powder or other components.

At least Arnold vetoed a bill that would have shut down one of our gun shows up near San Fransisco, Cow Palace. That would have been a step towards shutting down all gun shows on public fairgrounds.

He's worse than Mitt Romney. Good think he can't be president.
