Schwarzenegger signs ammo-regulation bill

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.

The measure is California's first statewide regulation of ammunition sales. It survived close votes in both the Assembly and state Senate and strong opposition from gun-rights organizations, which succeeded in stripping a provision that would have required sellers of more than 50 rounds of ammunition a month to be licensed by the state.

Starting in July 2010, the new law will require dealers to keep records of handgun ammunition sales for at least five years, and store the bullets securely out of customers' reach.

New York will probably be next and they'll do everything they can to spread their success and meet here in the middle.

One more way California can stifle commerce in that state.

He has infringed gun owners less than Reagan did.
