California's new ammo controls...

Posted by David Hardy · 11 December 2019 04:47 PM

California requires a background check for ammo purchase, and the score now stands at 101 buyers properly rejected and 62,000 improperly denied.

It also limits your ammunition to that required by a gun registered to you. A Brady Campaign spokesman says that gives people an incentive to register, and she "argues it's critical to have an up-to-date registry of California's firearm owners so that law enforcement agencies can use it to remove guns from dangerous people. Under the state's "red flag" laws, Californians can petition a court to have police remove firearms from those threatening to harm themselves or others. The law was recently expanded to allow teachers, employers and coworkers to seek the temporary removal of firearms from the homes of people making threats."

In other words: the purpose of registration is to allow confiscation. Thanks for the candor

I left New Jersey and moved to Pennsylvania because NJ would not let me have an unmolested M1A. The first thing I bought in PA was an M1A. If I lived in CA and had to put up with this stupidity, I would burn my house down just to spite them and leave.

Dave Hardy,
Partially Incorrect. You can buy ammo in a caliber/chambering that is not registered to you.
This was a common, incorrect, rumor spread by
some FFLs in CA.

All you need to be is "in the system" either by
filing to be in it or having firearm purchases
associated with same address/DL#.

I'm sure the law works perfectly and you will never see cars with CA plates in the parking lots of Las Vegas, Reno, and AZ ammo sellers.

Mr Murray, the CA police will probably do what the NJ police did with firework sales in PA.
They would have an unmarked car sitting in the fireworks store parking lot noting NJ license plates. Then they would pull them over in NJ take the fireworks and ticket them.

CA DoJ DOES in fact monitor out of state venues in attempting to catch California residents buying guns and ammo. One has to be very careful trying to bring stuff back home.

Also, as noted above, the ammo law does not YET require one to purchase only ammo for certain guns registered to the buyer. But give them time. They'll get around to it.
