Editorial: Fingerprints on ammo sales - 6
by John Haughey
Not surprisingly, the San Francisco Chronicle is all for legislation that requires firearms retailers to check a purchaser's identification and take a thumbprint when selling handgun ammunition. In an Oct. 5 editorial, it said the new law "would close this gaping loophole in efforts to keep our streets safe from gun violence. "Assemblyman Kevin de Leon, the Los Angeles Democrat who authored the bill, noted that a gun without ammunition 'is like a syringe without the drug.' 'It would not stop the sale,' he emphasized, but it would provide a record that law enforcement could later check. Similar rules are on the books in Los Angeles and Sacramento, but such patchwork laws are meaningless when a criminal can readily go to a neighboring town where no questions are asked and no records are kept. In the Los Angeles area, for example, no such laws prevail in Compton's abundance of gun shops." "AB962 also would require vendors to keep their handgun ammunition out of immediate reach of customers, similar to the requirements on the stocking of spray paints, cigarettes or cold medicine. And it would require that purchases via mail order or the Internet would have to be picked up at a dealer who would check ID and take the thumbprint. "This bill represents a sensible attempt to control the flow of ammunition to the criminals without constraining the rights of law-abiding citizens. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger should sign it into law."

Only someone with an IQ of a sponge would think this is a sensible idea, a sponge or a liberal, a tossup there. They don't seem to get it that crime only goes up the more they restrict guns. I think it was Einstein who said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting to get different results." By that definition, liberals are insane.
look alcohol kills more people than firearms with or with out ammo do.it goes back to the chicken is smarter than any politician!
I suppose the drug gangs and various other criminals who actually committ the crimes will, of course, give up their fingerprints. All in the course of good citizenship, you understand.
I live in the social republic of kalifornia. This will only discourage the law biding or new comers to the sport. I guess this will be a tax revenue loss also, we don't need the money, we have "bail out money'! Also, what's going to happen when I go to AZ and find a couple of box of ammo on sale? When I re-enter this social republic am I going to be asked if I have any fruits or plants or ammo? What would my answer be? Why 'yes' comrade. Ya right! Oh wait! I'll just have my friends smuggle it in. My state just stripping more of my rights from me.
looks like anyone who goes target shooting is going to need to learn to reload their own ammo otherwise they are SOL.
bo couldn't have said it better!! more lib/gov b.s. how many millions are they goin to spend before they catch a clue.?.?.?. one look at the countries who banned handguns current crime rate increases tells the undeniable truth!!!!!
