Since last July 1, California has required background checks for those purchasing firearm ammunition. As we noted, by December 2019 the state had run 345,000 background checks and rejected 62,000 Californians legally entitled to purchase ammunition, including off-duty sheriff’s deputies purchasing shotgun shells to hunt ducks. Officials blamed glitches in the system, but for Ari Freilich of the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, the system was working as intended, as a “red flag” law allowing seizure of weapons from those who have committed no crime. As it turns out, Freilich was on to something. Last month, the state Department of Justice mounted “a dozen operations to confiscate firearms and ammunition possessed by owners who failed background checks,” the Sacramento Bee reports. Agents seized 51 firearms, 28,518 rounds of ammunition and more than 120 magazines...The DOJ raids were not in response to actual cases of “gun violence,” and there is no evidence the raids saved lives. For Becerra’s DOJ, anyone who fails their background check system, the same one that denied purchases to more than 60,000 law abiding gun owners, is automatically considered dangerous. DOJ agents then swoop in to confiscate their guns. What could possibly go wrong?
This is an excerpt.
Jefferson’s words ring true, even today.
The tree of Liberty must be watered by the blood of tyrants and patriots from time to time.
We are well past time, and the tree of Liberty is getting weaker by the day...
they gonna do nail background checks for my nailgun as well?
Don’t give them any ideas, no matter how ridiculous the ideas seem to a normal person. THESE ARE DEMOCRATS!
I thought a court had thrown this out
Deprivation of rights under color of law?
Well, one of the quotes from Solzhenitsyn comes to mind.. How we burned in the camps....
Please add me to your ping list
A couple of excerpts
Individuals banned from purchasing ammunition in the Armed and Prohibited Persons System database include people with felony or violent misdemeanor convictions, those who have been placed under a restraining order, including in cases that involve domestic violence, and those who have been diagnosed with serious mental illness.
All search warrants were conducted in homes, officials said. The attorney general’s office did not provide further information about the individuals’ backgrounds.

What puzzles me is why felons (and maybe some were not felons) would try to buy ammo. They know about the checks.
A quote from a novel by Kurt Schlichter called PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC.. Very timely, I recommend it..
“For Becerra’s DOJ”
But that says it all.
Becerra is not an American.
He’s very insistent on that point. He always refers to himself and his countrymen - Mexicans - as “we”.
This is the Attorney General of a State of the United States, a State that has been so since 1850 when it took 200 days on a ship to get here from the East.
He is absolutely, implacably against the existence of an American nation, he believes this is Mexican land that unfortunately allowed some Anglos to temporarily move in, and he plans to do everything possible to remove them.
Confiscating their method of self defense is primary.
Becerra’s DOJ?
Might as well call it the Federal Judicial Policia de Califas Norte under him. The Gringo “Constitution”? Means nothing to him. In Mexico, where the Made Guys rule, no peon has a gun.
Becerra wants it that way here.
Becerra and Kevin De (the De added to make him seem more ethnic) Leon, the former state senator who bragged on the floor of the state senate that he had helped the illegals in his family come over and stay here, are leaders of La Reconquista in California, 40-year old movement to “re-conquer” the southwest from the US and make it part of Mexico.
The main strategy, as you can easily see is the use of demographics. Let the illegals flood in and get rid of the laws against them being here. Also, provide public support for them to stay. Cal with the help of white dupes like Jerry Brown, Gay Davis and Ahnold, Erioc Garshitti, spends 26 billion year on services to illegals. Now gov nuisance has given them 500 each for “stimulus.”
I am waiting for the day the leftist control freaks try to impose knife and baseball bat control like they do in the UK.

”So what does the law abiding citizen do? He shops on Amazon for baseball bats! He can’t buy guns, so he gets the next best thing, a metal version of the Louisville Slugger. In a 24-hour period, sales for baseball bats on Amazon UK rose by more than 6000 percent.”
This is the single and only issue that motivates me.
How does California go from being 4% “hispanic” in 1970 to 48% now?
Mass invasion, funded by taxpayer welfare to the invader.
And now the Machos are reaping the benefits: Becerra plans to be Governor, and take his revenge on the Gringos.
A Wall? It’s too late.
This is the real war.
no one to stop it. The wall, while needed, will not stop what has already happened. If ICE wants to send them all home, then let’s get busy. Immigrants, Muslims, illegals are having more babies than citizens. Illegals get out of jail and kill people here and for democrats pols it’s just part of life here. and WE keep electing them. Look for Nuisance to run for president ion 24.
Buy all ammo out of state and in cash!
