NSSF Helps End California Threat Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Friday vetoed California Assembly Bill 996, ending a threat characterized by NSSF senior vice president and general counsel Lawrence G. Keane as a solution in search of a problem. The bill would have required retailers to remove ammunition from their store shelves and other display areas and be locked up and accessible only to store employees. Key opposition was driven by NSSF and the California Association of Firearms Retailers, along with the National Association of Firearms Retailers, NRA, Gun Owners of California and others. “The bill is unnecessary because there has been no documentation of a problem with theft of ammunition from retail establishments,” wrote Schwarzenegger in vetoing the bill.
