Californians have been free to purchase ammunition, much like the rest of the United States, from January 31, 2024 to February 5, 2024. On February 5, 2024, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit, in a split decision, granted a motion to stay the decision of the District Court by Judge Benitez. Judge Benitez found the ammunition law to be unconstitutional for a second time.
In 2016, voters in California approved a ballot measure known as Proposition 63. The proposition created a system where gun owners would apply for an ammunition permit, which would cost $50 and be good for four years. Ammunition vendors would be required to check a California list of valid permits before approving a purchase. This system never went into effect.
Before the election day, when Proposition 63 was voted on, the California legislature enacted Senate Bill 1235. The bill changed and eliminated Proposition 63, and put Bill 1235 in place. Bill 1235 required a background check every time ammunition was purchased, along with numerous other requirements, fees, and prohibitions. Bill 1235 was to go into effect on January 1, 2018. The bill was challenged in the courts as unconstitutional on April 26, 2018. On April 23, 2020, Judge Benitez issued an order granting a preliminary injunction to stop enforcement of the law. On April 24, 2020, a three-judge panel granted a stay on implementing the preliminary injunction.
On June 24, 2022, the case was sent back to Judge Benitez to consider the impact of the Bruen decision at the Supreme Court. On January 30, 2024, Judge Benitez issued an order granting a permanent injunction to stop the enforcement of the unconstitutional ammunition law infringements. From the order:

On February 5, 2024, the restrictions were allowed to go into effect again. California's defiance of the Supreme Court continue.
the once-great state of Commiefornication is hopelessly being destroyed in so many ways by its ruling elite, it defies imagination
may all of its good people be able to escape ASAP
“may all of its good people be able to escape ASAP”
To vote their new home into another Kalifornia hell hole.
The gun and ammo manufacturers should get together and take out an ad in California newspapers that says they will not supply ammunition to any law enforcement agency that enforces gun control regulations. Cut the police off entirely.
They need to drive to Nevada and buy reloads
California resigned from America
Biden would supply them from military stocks.
Save the ammo you bought preban for self defense purposes. Buy out of state reloads for stockpiling and target shooting. I suggest reloads because they are less likely to be able to having showing when and where they were purchased.
Of course this is all for speculation and discussion. I am not advocating any course of action for anyone other than to obey the law.
Unfortunately that is all- too- often what happens. Many years ago Oregon had billboards “Don’t Californicate Oregon!” Unfortunately, that’s what’s happened to Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Nevada and Arizona and now even Idaho us under assault.
Such a crying shame really nice states get ruined , ironic too
“Biden would supply them from military stocks.”
How many PDs use 9mm and 5.56mm ball ammo? Not too many, I’d guess.

Horrible if someone were to travel out of state and buy for cash all the ammo they needed.
Actually, that’s prohibited by the law. You would want to make sure the date and place of purchase of the ammo can’t be traced.
Discard the receipts and boxes.
Make them prove it.
Won’t happen.
It may be prohibited by California law but nothing to prevent someone from loading up on ammo at a Az or Nevada gun show!
What is California going to do? Put road blocks up on the interstates to check for fruits and vegetables and AMMO?
***In 2016, voters in California approved a ballot measure known as Proposition 63.****
Hard to believe that back in 1982 the voters in California REJECTED Prop 15 to register and ban handguns. It was guaranteed by the anti-gun forces to pass, but overwhelmingly REJECTED by the voters!
How California far has fallen. Like a virus infected cell that burst all those viruses are spreading and infecting other States like Colorado and New Mexico.
Granted enforcement would be difficult but I’m pretty sure I saw that bringing ammo into the state to get around the law is also prohibited. Do shell casings have any lot marks which could show where and when the ammo was sold?

You know that CA drives through gun show parking lots with licence plate readers, right?
