The Gun Stores in California could fix all of this very easily, they just need a Little Organizing, not much. But one simple organizational task would END this crap overnight.
If these Gun Stores would Organize and Communicate they could easily create a Private Club for ALL Purchases, they would ALL have to do it, if You are Not a Member you can NOT buy from us. All Private Clubs can DISCRIMINATE!
Allow All US Citizens that can NOT be classified as a “Public Employee” to join the Buyers Gun Club and tell Every Last Government Employee to F%&K OFF.
Force them into Felonious Activity when they try to Purchase Ammo or Weapons out of State, then PUBLICIZE IT and Demand Prosecution.
but that would mean existing gun stores might face competition. I've shopped at Imbert&Smithers and heard the owner and management express their relief that no one can open a competing store and their scorn towards everyone who left the state to do business elsewhere.
