All Gun Owners Must Provide Thumbprint If California Town Passes Measure
Voters in Sunnyvale, California will decide next week on a strict new gun control measure that has already set off both sides of the debate on gun laws in the United States.
The ballot initiative, known as Measure C, would affect gun possession and ammunition sales. Gun owners would have to report firearm theft to the police within 48 hours, lock up guns at home, get rid of ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, and provide a thumbprint when purchasing ammo. Gun dealers would also have to keep records of ammunition sales, according to The San Francisco Chronicle.
“Our federal government can’t seem to set aside the (partisanship) and deal with this, so it’s got to start from the bottom up. Why not Sunnyvale?” Mayor Tony Spitaleri, 69, a retired Palo Alto fire captain, told the Chronicle. “Why not Mountain View next? We’ve got to start somewhere.”
The NRA says it will sue if the Nov. 5 measure passes, claiming it overlaps with state laws and violates the Second Amendment.
“Measure C presents an opportunity to litigate some unresolved Second Amendment issues that need to be resolved by the courts, including the Supreme Court,” Chuck Michel, West Coast counsel for the NRA said, adding that it could cost Sunnyvale thousands to defend in court.

How about if you choose to go about UNARMED, THEN you must pay for an expensive Unarmed Citizen License. The $ would defray the cost for police to protect those who refuse to be adult and protect themselves! Unarmed citizens would have to wear a Yellow Badge so the police (and thugs) know that they are unarmed.
