SACRAMENTO – -(Ammoland.com)-  AB 2459 is the scariest bill we have seen all year, and that’s not a fact to be taken lightly as there are already bills to ban most semi-auto rifles, ration your gun purchases, and ban all magazines that could hold more than 10 rounds at one point in time.

AB 2459, authored by Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento), could wipe out every single gun dealer in the state of California.

In essence, if this bill passes, they may not ever have to pass another anti-gun bill again. You simply won’t be able to legally buy another gun in California.

STOP THE LARGEST INFRINGEMENT EVER OF OUR RIGHTS

To start, AB 2459 will ban all home FFL dealers. There are hundreds of them in the state, and they may serve areas where a traditional brick and mortar store wouldn’t prosper.

Rural residents would be denied their right to defend themselves. They could not legally purchase a firearm unless they drove hours to a larger population area.

For traditional gun stores, the remaining two portions of the bill could drive them out of business.

  • AB 2459 would then force all gun dealers to video record all areas of their store wherever firearms or ammunition are stored, displayed, carried, handled, sold, or transferred, including, but not limited to, counters, safes, vaults, cabinets, shelves, cases, and entryways.
  • Adding to the Orwellian-ness, gun dealers will have to spend thousands of dollars on storing the high-quality data for up to 10 years on-site, turning each gun store that can afford it into a high capacity hard drive that most tech firms would be jealous of.

Assuming a gun dealer is still in business after the first two requirements, the last one will do them in.

  • AB 2459 mandates a first in the world form of insurance– an unobtainable policy that covers the criminal acts of second, third and fourth parties using a firearm or ammunition from the store in question, even if the retailer is in fact the victim of the crime or if the gun or ammo was stolen from the store.

Although it may sound like the anti-gunners’ fantasy bill that will never become reality, it is literally being lobbied in the State Capitol right now. They are seriously pushing for it.

Please sign our petition to STOP AB 2459 and forward this article to your friends and family so they can help beat this bill back.

10 years of cctv cameras for 8 cameras would be like 1500 TB’s So you if can only use 3 tb drives that 500 drives at $110 . That’s $55000 in hard drives . ridiculous , Someone in CA government own a drive supply company? Most be corruption driving this UnAmerican government .

No gun stores. Perhaps they will give the police sharp sticks.

I work in IT and implement CCTV systems. Most companies can only afford to store 30-60 days of high quality footage, 10 years is unobtainable, even for the large sporting goods corporations! Especially when this bill requires all areas of the business to be recorded. If approved, this bill would strip our already severely limited 2nd Amendment rights down to almost nothing. Even scarier than that is the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th party insurance requirement. Call your Assemblymen now and demand that they vote no and actively move against this bill now!

i left California for a more “free” minded state. To me, California is a police state already, and they prove time and time again that things can only get worse. California can just slide into the ocean and the better the rest of our country will be.

As an unarmed state California will go to the top of the list with terrorist.
