I am sure most everyone on this site is aware of this annually reaccuring legislation. I just received this notification from NRA. I thought I would pass it along.

Update on Pending Assault on Ammunition Sales in California
Please Continue to Contact the Members of the Assembly Committee on Public Safety!
Assembly Bill 962, sponsored by Assembly Member Kevin De Leon (D-45), has been pulled from the Assembly Committee on Public Safety. The bill still could be heard next week, however.
AB962 would make it a crime to privately transfer more than 50 rounds of ammunition per month, even between family and friends, unless you are registered as a “handgun ammunition vendor” in the Department of Justice’s database. Ammunition retailers would have to be licensed and store ammunition in such a manner that it would be inaccessible to purchasers. The bill would also require purchasers submit to fingerprinting, which would be submitted to the Department of Justice. Lastly, mail order ammunition sales would be prohibited.
Please continue to contact the members of the Assembly Committee on Public Safety and respectfully urge them to oppose AB962. Contact information can be found below.

Dear Assembly Members,
I am writing this note to urge you to block passage of AB 962. I am an avid target shooter, and this bill would adversely affect my hobby. I also believe in and practice self protection/reliance. I currently buy ammo in bulk to save on the cost and make practice affordable. I am also teaching a couple of younger relatives to shoot.
I feel that any person who legally owns a firearm should practice regularly so as to attain or maintain a high level of proficiency. If sufficient practice is not completed, the firearm could become dangerous because of inaccuracy in operation.
Thank you for your time.
