useless in my opinion

most of the murders and shootings that occur in the streets are not from store-bought arms or ammunition anyhow, so what will this solve?

even a shovel is a weapon, should they leave thumbprints for that purchase too? What about a pencil, someone can get stabbed in the eye.

Really, anything and everything can be used as a weapon except for maybe paper and feathers

I FORESEE THAT AMMO will have a sharp increase in sales to callifornia from now till feb 2011. but what do i know. i just hope all the ammo makers don't ship all there production in 2010 to cali because of guaranteed sales you know it won't be long before other idiot states jump on cali coatails

Some Terminator.

I would THINK that California has much bigger problems than ammunition.

Just think.

Soon, you can load up your car with pistol ammo, drive to California, and make really good money.

You can always tickle someone with the feather and give their smile a papercut!

Ouch

Personally when it comes to civil war, martial law or revolutions etc. The sad thing is that I think that what will come from any of these situations is one thing, slaughter. Its happening the world over so theres no reason it will not happen on home ground. Especially when people dont have defences, my country banned guns outright (UK) and I do not think it will be long before this happens in the US.

Wow... you mean it's not just those mean old nasty left wing commie socialist Democrats working to undermine your second amendment rights? Whodda thunk?

Big surprise here, just one more bonehead move by an inept and moronic state government. And they wonder why all the tax revenue moved out of the state years ago.

I think heroine, crack, and dust are also against the law in California.

But no one seems to have any problem getting any.

The only people it hurts are those who abide by the law.

The very ones that are leaving California already, just can't get out fast enough.

Nope. There's some RINOs in on it too. I submit exhibit Z that neocons are really just Democrats in camouflage.

And folks tell me I'm nuts when I say there isn't any difference at all in the two major parties.

Well if they can't remove your firearms, they will remove your ammunition. How sly of them huh?

In any case this is just going to lead to more problems, more paperwork and more wasted taxpayer money.

California can't afford to put these sort of measures into place, not in our current situation and probably not in 2011 either.

I bet you Obama keeps his hands clean of this one .

So, my thumbprint goes down for 1000 rounds of 7.62 and 500 rounds of .45 acp..........and the same goes for 10,000 other people like me this week. Then, somebody gets shot up with these calibers of ammo.

NOW WHAT? How does this help at all?

Are they going to interview all 10,000 people that purchased that caliber this week, or the couple of million that purchased that caliber this year?

Will the Wal Marts now be doing current background and registration checks for ammo sales? If I don't pay my parking tickets, will I still be able to purchase ammo?

What about illegal aliens? California loves them, and Hispanic gangs are one of the biggest problems in the nation right now, especially California. So, will these ammo sales be cross-checked with Immigration, or Crime Databases, or Restraining Orders?

If they are going to implement new laws that restrict my liberties, how about we at least make them somewhat useful!!

Oh yeah. This is a great scenario for black or gray market gun and ammo dealers. Hell it is a great deal for ordinary citizens in neighboring states. Buy ammo cheaper and without paper work. Drive to Cali and sell to a private individual. He can easily resale, at a premium, to people that want to avoid paper work.

Maybe the legal gun owners will start mingling with the illegal owners to get their ammo. Could build a whole new sub culture. Imagine the stoner culture for guns. Maybe everything will work out fine.

Sadly though most illegal guns are sold already loaded. Ammo isn't as big with the petty street criminals that usually do the shooting. The guys buying 5,000 rounds of illegal ammo almost never use it. Honestly they have it "just in case." Of course I am speaking of the US and not Mexico or Rwanda.

Well we know who side he's on now.....

~Were making a list

~checking it twice

~gonna find out who's

~naughty & nice

~worthless politicians ...stinking up~~ our town.

Open Terminator clip....

"ID?" says the guy behind the counter ....

Death and mayhem follow ....

I guess it makes little difference.

It does seem uncomfortably timed though..., or am I just paranoid?
