California Lieutenant Governor wants to do background checks…on ammo

California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom wants to make it illegal for people to buy ammunition without passing a background check. He’s expected to announce the ballot initiative later today in San Francisco, and Los Angeles Times notes a similar law was rejected a few years ago.

Newsom’s proposal would also beef up rules for ammunition sales and purchases, applying the same rules that already exist for firearms. Someone buying bullets would be subject to the same background check as someone buying a gun.

Similar proposals were introduced in the Legislature two years ago but did not pass.

Isn’t this the idiot that Kimberly Guilfoyle was once married too?

Time to open an ammo store in Nevada right next to the border with California.

That’ll stop those Bloods, Crips, Avenues, Mexican Mafia, MS-13, and Asian gangs in their tracks!

[ColdOne]

He is evil.

[rktman]

Yup. So much for her powers of intuition huh?

[rktman]

Well, I’m within about 10 miles of it so...............

He’ll be going after law abiding gun owners, not street criminals.

Expect CA DOJ to monitor them out of state, and do border inspections.

They already do this to stop smuggling of beverage containers from out of state on which no recycle fees were paid.

They even patrol back roads that may be used to circumvent the border check stations.

Just add ammo to the ‘assignment’

No more zip guns!

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

And you’ll have Cali detectives following people from your parking lot, taking down tag numbers, etc..

That’s a “given” - he doesn’t fool me.

I have wondered when this might become a nationwide movement. I guess I need to buy more than just the usual target practice replenishment!

[1Old Pro]

Just great, now the shelves will clear as more people stock up.

[Billthedrill]

...but there’s no way to enforce this unless you’re going to do confiscation.

Yeah. Funny about that.

"And you’ll have Cali detectives following people from your parking lot, taking down tag numbers, etc.."

So? Californian detectives can't do anything in Nevada. I'm sure there would be plenty of Cali purchasers nevertheless. What happens when they leave is their problem.

You’ll have a lot of competition from online sales.
