SACRAMENTO — Sold from vending machines in Pennsylvania, feed depots in Nevada, pharmacies in Georgia and jewelry stores in Texas, ammunition is in many states easier to buy than cold medicine. But in California, which already enforces some of the nation’s most restrictive gun laws, there is a movement underway against the unfettered sale of bullets.
Gun control advocates here have pushed to limit internet sales, ban large-capacity magazines, require sellers to have licenses, raise taxes on bullets, and mandate serial numbers or other traceable markings on ammunition so that the police can more easily track them.
Such regulations, several of which have been enacted and take effect this year and next, are inspired by the view that the best way to limit gun violence is to approach it as a “bullet control” problem. As Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a Democrat from New York, told the Senate 25 years ago, when he introduced legislation that would have imposed a 10,000-percent tax on hollow-tip ammunition, “guns don’t kill people; bullets do.”

Somewhat off topic, but did we ever get an explanation why DHS and other alphabet agencies need millions upon millions of rounds of hollow point bullets?
Ammo for me, but not for thee, eh?
Take the guns away from the Democrats and watch the numbers of gun violence fall.
Not new. Commies/Nazis thought of it a long time ago.
...shall not be infringed...
You mean “other” commies and nazis already though of it.
Cuz these guys are from identical cloth.
well, unless California intends to build a wall, there are bullets for sale all around the state
Ammunition is the Achilles heel of gun owners and the gun controllers know it.
Every gun owner should have at least 1000 rounds per firearm.
Never saw an explanation, and they couldn’t account for where it went.
Just 1,000?
“Every gun owner should have at least 1000 rounds per firearm.”
And a reloading press and the skill to use it.

You never hear the NYTimes say something like “Georgia tries new tact on abortion control” just that it’s EVIL to stop helpless women from getting abortions.
Yeah because it would be so difficult and all to load 20,000 bullets in a single car trunk and drive the car in from another state.
Another brilliant law from Commiefornia. :rolleyes:
Is California going to check Californian’s cars returning from Nevada?
I’m of selling any of my ammo.
I’m not selling. (I hate spell check) any of my ammo.
CA has agricultural stations at the border - I bet that they’ll be inspecting more and more cars with these laws.
This would have saved Kate Steinle.

The ignorant fool who wrote this article doesn’t even know the difference between a bullet and a cartridge; cartridges, the things that are actually loaded into firearms, are what he’s actually writing about. Bullets are the projectiles fired from cartridges. Any good editor would have caught his error immediately.
