We should push ammunition manufacturers to stop all ammunition sales to California. Particularly CA law enforcement. Let them throw rocks.
I will sell ammo to them, 10% markup.
“We’re going to have to take one step at a time,
and the first step is necessarily — given the
political realities — going to be very modest .
.. So then we’ll have to start working again to
strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen
the next law, and maybe again and again.
Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half
a loaf but with a slice.
Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in
the United States — is going to take time ....
The first problem is to slow down the increasing
number of guns being produced and sold in this country.
The second problem is to get handguns registered.
And the final problem is to make the possession of *all*
handguns and *all* handgun ammunition — except for the
military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed
sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally
illegal.”
— Pete Shields, Chairman Emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc.

The SC Heller decision seems to apply to a ‘quantity of ammunition’ as well as the firearms. I believe the SC already thought of government banning ammunition, and made that part of the right. You cannot separate the firearm from the ammunition.
I haven’t reread the Heller decision lately but I seem to recall this was the case.
Buy out of state.. don’t spend nothing in California.
Buy a carbine rifle, the law covers handgun ammo... if you buy a rifle that uses the same ammo then buy it in bulk for your rifle.
I'm new to using rimfire ammo - just bought a .22LR (Remington 597). Is it common to get misfires? I have a box of 500 Remington Cyclone rounds and fired about 60 or so over the weekend with about a 10% misfire rate.
The a**hat lied about vetoing the bill and then signed it into law. What a jerk.
We have until February, 2011 to stock up...
The 18th century definition of "arms" refers to anything an individual might need to effectively defend themselves and their community. This included not only guns but ammo, knives, armor, swords and (in the case of wealthier Americans) cannons. I think it could be effectively argued that the 2nd amendment today protects the ownership of guns, probably even fully automatics, all ammo, body armor, and possibly even grenades / grenades launchers.
1 count of conspiring to deprive Americans of their Constitutional rights under the 2nd Amendment.
10 million counts of violating Americans' Constitutional rights under the 2nd Amendment.
Since the dollar is tanking and gold is increasingly hard to come by, all asset portfolios should include a substantial percentage of investment grade ammunition.
And the gun shops on the AZ side of the CA border say “thank you very much”.
This just sent ammunition buying to an even greater frenzie.
What is up with shotgun shells? Went into Wallyworld to get some clay pigeons for my daughter to shoot and they were $10 a box. I have heard some drivel about there being a lead shortage.
1,000 rounds occupies about the space of a shoebox.
Criminals would need only about 10 rounds each.
Street markup could be 1000% easy.
So ... a black market dealer can supply 100 customers, making a 90% profit, netting a nice week’s salary with a few hours’ simple work via easily-obtained goods fitting in a briefcase.
How could this legislation/criminalization possibly go wrong?
This is going to make the upcoming SCOTUS case interesting, because if they find in favor of the 2nd Amendment, this California law will be DOA.
Bingo...
You’re an asshole, Arnold.
No, no more Californians please. They truly believe that they don't like it there and "escape" here or to Nevada, then proceed to vote like they did before.
