Any Californians concerned about assembly bill AB 1178?

This may have been posted before, but...

Seems that if this bill passes, anyone selling hobby related goods (at this time coins are not included, but that's only a matter of time) would need to be fingerprinted prior to selling their own property.

There is a lot more to it, but in a nutshell, sounds like bad medicine. It's being pushed by pawnshop owners, because they already need to do this, I guess they just want to share the fun.

    Doesn't bother me and I live in San Diego County. How could eBay and Teletrade ever collect fingerprints from Californians? Sounds like complete nonsense,

    I don't know whether it could affect you or not, but just in case anyone is interested in the verbiage:

    But yea, I think it'd be pretty terrible if the bill passes.

    I dont think we should stop at fingerprinting.

    I think that an entire finger should pr removed and

    placed on file.

    Relayer..... Looks like I should add it to this thread too.

    Coin portion of bill: "As used in this article, "tangible personal property" does not
    include any of the following:
    .............................................
    (c) Coins, monetized bullion, or commercial grade ingots of gold,
    silver, or other precious metals. "Commercial grade ingots" means
    0.99 fine ingots of gold, silver, or platinum, or 0.925 fine sterling
    silver art bars and medallions, if the ingots, art bars, and
    medallions are marked by the refiner or fabricator as to their assay
    fineness.
