Although it can’t be positively confirmed, though maybe it’s just self-evident, a majority of state senators in the Golden State are itching to push through their pro-gun control agenda, approving at least seven bills on Wednesday that further restrict the rights of law-abiding gun owners, including one bill that would set up an ammo registry.
That’s correct, under Senate Bill 53, responsible gun owners would be required to submit personal information to the state, undergo a background check and pay a $50 fee before being allowed to buy ammunition. Their information would be stored in a state database controlled by the Justice Department and the individual would have to present photo ID at a gun store upon making an ammo purchase.
Additionally, gun dealers and ammo vendors would be required to obtain special permits to sell ammunition. Those gun owners or gun dealers/ammo vendors who fail to follow the law would face misdemeanor charges.
Excerpt from SB 53:
(1) Existing law requires the Attorney General to maintain records, including among other things, fingerprints, licenses to carry concealed firearms, and information from firearms dealers pertaining to firearms, for purposes of assisting in the investigation of crimes, and specified civil actions.
This bill would require the Attorney General to also maintain copies of ammunition purchase permits, information about ammunition transactions, as specified, and ammunition vendor licenses, as specified, for those purposes.
Sen. Kevin De Leon (D-Los Angeles), the bill’s sponsor, spoke to the LA Times about the objective of SB 53, which according to him is “to ensure that criminals and other dangerous individuals cannot purchase ammunition in the state of California.”
“To purchase a product that has the potential to maim or kill another human being you can (now) walk into a gun store, no questions asked,”

SB 47, a bill that places onerous restrictions on “bullet buttons.”
SB 567, a bill that would reclassify certain shotguns as :assault weapons.”
SB 683, a bill that would require all gun buyers to take a firearm-safety certificate class.
SB 755, which would expand crimes that would result in a 10-year ban on owning or buying firearms. Additions include drug- and alcohol-related offenses, hazing, violations of protective orders and court-ordered mental health treatment.
These gun-grabbing assholes will never be satisfied.
Murder is against the law...but that hasn’t stopped it.

If you’re the victim of a violent crime in many places in California, you better not depend on the police showing up to protect you.
California is too broke to enforce any laws. I am not sure how they kept the lights on for their meeting.
It won’t be long before they’re asking us to bail them out. I say to them, .... up yours.
There just went the military's ability to buy ammo.
I’m sure that will fix california’s problems.
Next up: car dealerships, baseball equipment stores, department stores with cutlery departments, hardware stores that sell rope, plant nurseries that sell garden rocks, construction sites with left over 2x4 lumber, etc.
this is good news!
this is just the kind of thing that could California back Republican!
The Nazis are on a roll!
“To purchase a product that has the potential to maim or kill another human being you can (now) walk into a gun store, no questions asked,”
So there will follow, I assume, a registry for baseball bats and buckets?
He means a hammer, right? Or is it a car?
Hey Sen. Kevin De Leon (D-Los Angeles) there isn’t a criminal, a gang-banger, or a thug anywhere in California who gives a rat’s ass about your gun-grabbing bill. All you’re doing is punishing the law-abiding citizens. The shootings and crimes with a gun will continue despite your socialism. What as ass! (Sorry about being blunt but these liberal control freaks never get it).
Insanity!
It will get worse in CA and short of SCOTUS intervention, we will in time, lose all 2A rights. We now have a super-majority of dem legislators. The 2A can’t survive this.
don’t forget gasoline and antifreeze.
Yet California has NO problem giving illegal aliens drivers licenses and those same illegals go on to kill innocent people(Check out what happened in Newport Beach over the weekend) this state is screwed up..this is what happens when liberals take over
Going after ammo cuz of 3d printing of GUNS —gotta feed that control monkey no matter what.
I’m more convinced than ever that we’ll need to brush off the 1867 Reconstruction Act, send in a military governor and abolish California’s sovereign right to govern itself.
“If you’re the victim of a violent crime in many places in California, you better not depend on the police showing up to protect you.”
Of course not. These ass clowns are too busy at the donut shop.
Remember the Hollywood shooting at Hollywood/Vine? The Hollywood precint was 4 blocks away and these idiots responded half an hour later.
