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.

Going after ammo cuz of 3d printing of GUNS —gotta feed that control monkey no matter what.
So let’s ramp up individual initiative again an develop Rail-gun pistols and rifles. Let’s see ‘em stop the guy with the 3-D printer from printing his own ammo then.
Also if there’s one thing I’ve learned from the War of Drugs is that there are a number of very imaginative people that can think of ways to ship a product that is desired.
And these idiots wonder why black markets seem to appear out of nowhere.
A bottle of Tylenol can kill you too.
Consequently, they will enforce the laws arbitrarily, at the whim of the prosecutor.
Understand one thing the politicians who are doing this are liberals & in every modern liberal is a boxcar stuffing totalitarian screaming to be unleashed on whoever is going to be the chosen scapegoat (that would be you & me FRiend).
