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.”

Only if you are here legally.
With DC corruption and Money, Virgina won't be much ahead of Kalifornia. That State is purple heading deep blue.
They are crazy. They cannot be Americans.
>> There is a minority of mostly whites there who had nothing to do with it
The exception proves the rule.
With DC corruption and Money, Virgina won't be much ahead of Kalifornia. That State is purple heading deep blue.
They aren’t crazy and they aren’t Americans either.
They are a threat to Americans though.
That’s us-leaving and relocating to SC.
“Our work’s not done there,” Steinberg said. “We want to distinguish in this state guns that are legally owned for sport, for recreation and for self-defense and safety, versus guns and rifles that allow hundreds of bullets to be fired within seconds that can indiscriminately injure or kill people that have no use in the sport, recreation or self-defense categories.”
That’s a crazy liar, inventing new street guns to rant about...
Heck, who could afford the ammo at “hundreds of rounds in seconds”?
Heh...in the shadow of DC - yeah, that's the fix.
Government of CA, get a clue.
cabela’s in reno. right across the state line on i80
“Just 6-7 more years until retirement and I can flee Kalifornia for Virginia. Can’t come soon enough.”
May want to rethink this option unless you already have property there. Virginia is rapidly becoming a deep blue state, and you see who those morons elected to be governor.
Hopefully someone will open a Gun Store at Stateline.
That way I won’t have to drive all the way into Vegas to stock up.
“Just 6-7 more years until retirement and I can flee Kalifornia for Virginia. Can’t come soon enough.”
You had better rethink your decision to go to VA. In six or seven years, it will be just like California. For peers sake man, it touches DC, has a RAT governor and both Senators are RATs!! Just how is that going to be any different than CA?
You can still read articles about guns without a background check. You can still look at pictures of guns without a background check.
THERE'S STILL A LOOPHOLE!!!11!!1!1!!
Buy now before it’s too late.
You know, this makes perfect sense. We should let the government know where all the ammo is just in case they ever need to “borrow” it. /sarc
But in all seriousness, it makes sense to have background check for the “fuel” for deadly devices capable of mass murder. If they don’t have any fuel, they can’t be used for mass murder (except as a club). But before they start requiring background check for ammunition, which “fuels” one of the least dangerous items available for common use, I can think of a few more things for which they should require background checks. Water, for example, since swimming pools are 6 times more dangerous to children than firearms. Gasoline is another one; maybe they need to have a second card reader on gas pumps for swiping your driver’s license to make sure you have a car that uses the type of gasoline which you are purchasing and that you do not have a suspended license and... (if there isn’t a pool of sarcasm collecting in front of your computer monitor, I didn’t do it right)
