De León has proposed Assembly Bill 362 as a step toward making California the first state to conduct instant background checks on buyers of handgun bullets.

Does he mean this:

or this?

Bullets are just one of four components of a cartridge, but expecting a legislator AND a journalist to know the difference is asking too much.

Bullets are just one of four components of a cartridge, but expecting a legislator AND a journalist to know the difference is asking too much.

Since he targets specifically "handgun" bullets, I have some questions for him:Is a .22LR a handgun, or a rifle bullet?

.44mag, same question.

Is a semiauto .45 Thompson replica a handgun, or a rifle that uses handgun ammo?

The first doesn't affect me at all, since I only buy .22 cartridges, and don't know of anyone who reloads rimfires.
