"[W]hereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them; nor does it follow from this, that all promiscuously must go into actual service on every occasion. The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see many men disposed to practice upon it, whenever they can prevail, no wonder true republicans are for carefully guarding against it."
--Federal Farmer, Antifederalist Letter, No.18
2010 California Laws that you might be interested in:
AB 532 - will allow police to obtain a search warrant warrant to seize guns or other deadly weapons from within a house after a report of domestic violence or mental health incident. (Click Here to see the full text of the law). http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_0501-0550/ab_532_bill_20091011_chaptered.html
According to the CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST:
Existing law establishes various grounds for the issuance of a
search warrant. This bill would additionally authorize issuance of a search warrant when the property or things to be seized include a firearm or any other deadly weapon that is owned by, or in the possession of,
or in the custody or control of, a person who has been detained or
apprehended for examination of his or her mental condition, as
specified.
The bill would also authorize issuance of a search warrant
when the property or things to be seized include a firearm or any
other deadly weapon at the scene of, or at the premises occupied or
under the control of the person arrested in connection with, a
domestic violence incident involving a threat to human life or a
physical assault, as specified.
The bill would also state that it is not the intent of the
Legislature in enacting the measure to authorize the seizure of
firearms in specified circumstances.
AB 962 - requires gun sellers to record sales of ammunition, and requires the fingerprinting and identification of the purchaser. (Click Here to see the full text of the law). http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_0951-1000/ab_962_bill_20091011_chaptered.html
According to the CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST:
Existing law generally regulates the sale of ammunition.
The bill would provide that no handgun ammunition vendor, as
defined, shall sell, offer for sale, or display for sale, any handgun
ammunition in a manner that allows that ammunition to be accessible
to a purchaser without the assistance of the vendor or employee
thereof.
Existing law generally regulates what information is required to
be obtained in connection with the transfer of ammunition.
This bill would, subject to exceptions, commencing February 1,
2011, require handgun ammunition vendors to obtain a thumbprint and
other information from ammunition purchasers, as specified. A
violation of these provisions would be a misdemeanor.
This bill would provide that a person enjoined from engaging in
activity associated with a criminal street gang, as specified, would
be prohibited from having under his or her possession, custody, or
control, any ammunition. Violation of these provisions would be a
misdemeanor.
The bill would prohibit supplying or delivering, as specified,
handgun ammunition to prohibited persons, as described, by persons or
others who know, or by using reasonable care should know, that the
recipient is a person prohibited from possessing ammunition or a
minor prohibited from possessing ammunition, as specified. Violation
of these provisions is a misdemeanor with specified penalties.
The bill would provide, subject to exceptions, that commencing
February 1, 2011, the delivery or transfer of ownership of handgun
ammunition may only occur in a face-to-face transaction, with the
deliverer or transferor being provided bona fide evidence of identity
of the purchaser or other transferee. A violation of these
provisions would be a misdemeanor.
