A federal judge on Thursday blocked a California law requiring background checks for people buying ammunition, issuing a sharply worded rebuke of “onerous and convoluted” regulations that violate the constitutional right to bear arms.
U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez of San Diego ruled in favor of the California Rifle & Pistol Association, which asked him to stop the checks and related restrictions on ammo sales.
“The experiment has been tried. The casualties have been counted. California’s new ammunition background check law misfires and the Second Amendment rights of California citizens have been gravely injured,” Benitez wrote in a 120-page opinion granting the group's motion for a preliminary injunction.

“Moreover, he ruled that the state’s ban on importing ammunition from outside California violates federal interstate commerce laws.”

A Dubya judge comes through, and the Ninth Circus is on notice.
We'll see who the three-judge panel draws, and then it's on to the 11-judge en banc panel.

Allstate used to advertise “You’re in good hands” but with these judges Americans are definitely NOT.

How about “due to national Coronovirus related delays, the background checks may take an additional one to two years for processing.”
If they someday start adding a $400 govt. surcharge to a box of ammo and a license costs $2,500 but they still claim there’s a right to bear arms then what 2nd Amendment is left?

No, I didn’t mean the block by this judge was wrong. Just the hundreds of bad ones all over the country that Trump is working to replace.
