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.

Same Judge, too. Like the Standard Capacity Mags, this will also be overturned.
Great news!
But not on illegals?

The Great Lone Star Republic of California!
Magazine Ban was overturned by same judge...
He has an honest-looking face, not to mention scholarly.
Viva Judge Benitez! Viva Cuba Libre! Abajo Communismo!
Agreed...
“Moreover, he ruled that the state’s ban on importing ammunition from outside California violates federal interstate commerce laws.”
Damned Straight!!!
Thank Heaven for this honest judge. But the California “law” was so patently unconstitutional it never should have been Considered, more or less enacted. These pretty dictator- wannabes need to pay a price for proposing such obviously anti- American infringements on our liberties. Can they be sued or ?
Judge Benitez was born in Havana in 1950. His family lost everything when Castro came to power, and his parents sent him to Miami to live with relatives when he was ten. Later his mother was able to come to America. He received his college and legal education in southern California.
He understands America and the freedoms we cherish here, as well as the dangers of Communism and the other totalitarian “isms”.
Excellent!
There is no ammo to get. It's all sold out already due to the current situation.
No, he narrowed the gap, but it isn’t flipped.
“There is no ammo to get. It’s all sold out already due to the current situation.”
We didn’t have this problem until recently, but times like these are why we stocked up earlier, right?
Kind of like how I now really like my wife’s thing about buying paper towels and TP in about 6 months supply at a time.
SGAmmo.com, luckygunner.com, midwayusa.com, etc. (dropped out from my post)
You can never have enough ammo when you life may depend on it. I’m serious.
No. The Ninth has 9 Klintoon judges, 7 Obama judges, 3 W Judges, and 10 Trump judges.
So it’s 16-13 RAT. Better than before, but not flipped yet.
