Legislative Alert - AB 962 Passed Out

AB 962, a bill that would create new regulations on the sale of ammunition, one effect of which would be to prohibit sales of ammunition over the Internet, has passed out of the Committee on Public Safety, and has been referred to the Committee on Appropriations.

This means that this bill has cleared an important hurdle to becoming law, passing its initial committee hearing, and will not be under serious consideration for being brought to the assembly floor. Time to write to the Appropriations committee members to oppose this bill.
