California Democrats will push background checks for ammunition
washington post ^ | january 10, 2014 | reid wilson

Posted on 01/10/2014 5:27:25 PM PST by lowbridge

Following passage last year of some of the strongest gun-control laws in the nation in the wake of the school shooting in Newton, Conn., leading California Democrats will open a new front in the fight against gun violence this year with a proposal to conduct background checks on people who purchase ammunition.

State Senate Democrats will push to require a comprehensive background check on anyone seeking to purchase ammunition, and to require a one-year permit for ammunition purchases.

“Anyone can walk into any gun store, a bait and tackle store, and purchase all the ammunition they want to, no questions asked,” Sen. Kevin de Leon (D), the bill’s lead sponsor, said in an interview. “The ammunition is the fuel that feeds the violence. The gun itself, the hand gun or the long gun or the high-powered weapon is the delivery device. The gas, the fuel, is the ammunition, and no one knows who buys it.”

California is gone. The dems can have their way, any way they want it, with those unfortunate to live in a lovely place run by criminals.

Looking forward to visiting this year and traveling, armed with blades, blackjack at touchdown, while my ride upon arrival will furnish a snub nosed .38 special and 12 gauge pump shotgun. Fools can pass illegal edicts all they want.

No they can’t. I’ve tried. It ain’t there.

Short of some sort of SCOTUS relief (and don’t expect it), CA residents will lose most of the rest of their few remaining 2A rights. With the dem majorities, I expect this to happen within a few more election cycles.

So, in order to exercise our Second Amendment rights, we have to get a procto exam from the FBI. Obviously unconstitutional, not that the frito banditos now running California care.

Time to stock up on internet ammo again before they ram this through.

I am living for the day I can leave a post here saying, “I used to live in California. sorry for all you left behind, but let it burn. I wouldn’t go back to that commie hell hole for a million dollars”.

Just 6-7 more years until retirement and I can flee Kalifornia for Virginia. Can’t come soon enough.

There is a minority of mostly whites there who had nothing to do with it

Plenty of them streaming into middle TN from there
