"Guns don't kill people, ammo does."

I cannot believe the IDIOCY that spews forth from Kaliforniastan!!!

Ammunition for gun rights?: Question of the week - LA Daily News

Quote:

Last week, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a controversial new law that tightens restrictions on the sales of handgun ammunition.

The law requires gun dealers to record and keep the drivers license number and thumbprint of those who buy handgun ammunition. It prohibits direct sales of ammunition to Californians who order by mail or Internet and makes it illegal to sell handgun ammunition to anyone prohibited from owning a gun.

It also makes it illegal for anyone subject to a gang injunction to own handgun ammunition.

Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland and Sacramento already have similar measures on the books, but determined buyers could amble outside the cities' jurisdiction and make their purchases.

The mantra from law enforcement now is "Guns don't kill people, ammo does."

Gun owners and lobbyists say this will do nothing but create paperwork.

What do you think? Is more and more restrictions and barriers on guns and ammunition keeping you safer? Is there a limit to how much regulation is good, or have we already passed that point?

Weigh in on this controversial topic.

Ammo doesn't kill people, kinetic energy does. Ban motion.

I bet there is going a lot more traffic across the California and Nevada and Arizona borders, wonder if California will be checking for ammo smugglers next.

Actually, hemorrhaging kills people, not kinetic energy.

California can't afford to keep existing criminals in jail and the state wants to spend more resources to lord over ammo sales shelves managers and consumers to create more criminals

Guns and ammo kill people, like spoons made Rosie O'Donnell fat.

Anyone want to start an ammo store with me situated on the Nevada/Kalifornia border? Me thinks that it would do well...if we could get ammo that is.

Unfortunately CA has been the starting point of a disturbing amount of new national laws and standards.

Yup, watch what happens in CA, cause it may be coming soon to a state near you.

Ammo was just barely starting to come back on the shelves. Forget about finding any in CA between now and when this goes into effect.

After that, forget about finding any ammo in NV, AZ, OR.

I strongly disagree with this law. It makes ammo purchases more difficult for law-abiding gun owners, and certainly does create a vast amount of paperwork and bureaucracy that in reality does little to prevent crime; it just fills up file cabinets.

It's another example of political posturing. Again, the politicians are pretending to do something about crime, by enacting politically convenient gun control, rather than actually doing what is necessary, which might not be politically convenient.
