California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a bevy of bills into law, including one that will require ammunition sellers to collect and keep information from all buyers, including a thumbprint, signature and driver’s license data.

Internet and mail-order sales will be eliminated, because sales must happen in person. Read the bill here.

The governor’s signature reverses his earlier position.

Government To Keep Tabs On Your Ammo

My Opinion, the purpose here, besides money for them, is to have the ability to know who has a gun, what kind of gun, and where they live. Since criminals obviously won’t comply with this law, the purpose is to keep tabs on the average citizen. Why the citizen and not the crook? The Government fears the armed average citizen. As long as the average honest person is armed they have the power to invoke their vision of “change”. Crooks aren’t being pushed by the government, to the breaking point, the way “Joe Six Pack” is being pushed. Crooks by their nature do not care, the average person does. An armed citizenry that cares about freedom and liberty is a dangerous thing to those who wish to wrest control for themselves alone to have.
