This California proposal that will probably become law is going to be very popular in pro-gun control states.
LA Times:
Californians who want to buy ammunition would have to submit personal information and a $50 fee for a background check by the state, under a bill passed by the Senate. The state Department of Justice would determine whether buyers have a criminal record, severe mental illness or a restraining order that would disqualify them from owning guns.
Ammo shops would check the name on buyers' driver's licenses against a state list of qualified purchasers.
The goal of the bill is "to ensure that criminals and other dangerous individuals cannot purchase ammunition in the state of California," said Sen. Kevin De Leon (D-Los Angeles), author of SB 53.
The vote was 22-14, with a few Democrats joining the Republican minority in opposition.
Sen. Jim Nielsen (R-Gerber) said, "We are criminalizing legal, historic behavior in the state of California and putting onerous burdens and regulations and requirements on law-abiding citizens."
The Senate also OK'd a bill that would outlaw the sale, purchase and manufacture in California of semiautomatic rifles that can accommodate detachable magazines. The measure, SB 374 by Steinberg, also would require those who own such weapons to register them with the state....

$50 every time or just once?
Lemme guess. The list will be approved/disapproved by the IRS?
I left in 2006.
We left in 2005.
With our new dem super-majority, dems will pass anything they want. Hope the gov won’t sign, but you know he will sign many of these proposed laws.
Save for SCOTUS relief (and don’t count on it) CA will over time kill the 2A.
We should cut our losses and cut it loose..
I wonder what the penalties will be for buying it out of state. This could be pretty lucrative for ammo shops just across the AZ, NV and OR borders...
So do the gangabangers in East LA have to do this, too?
I knew that was where all this Nazi “gun control” crap was going. It’s all about the money! Money! Money! Money! Other people’s money. The government wants your money. All of it! Those “parents” in Connecticut were used as useful idiots. The DemocRATS couldn’t have cared less about their kids. This was about MONEY!
How much do they have to pay and what form of ID must they show to vote?
I left in 1975. OK, my parents left and took me with them, but it was still becoming a liberal craphole even then.
This eliminates going to Kalifornica to hunt sports. Once the Mexicans take over things might change but don’t bring small change when they do.
Left in Feb of this year...
Something tells me that Nevada will be selling a lot of ammo to visiting Californians.
No. They get it free from Big Sis.
I thank God, I live in Georgia, in the COUNTRY.
Born and raised in So Cal. Left after 40 years in 2001.
The goose that laid the golden egg is now on life support and will soon expire.
Thank goodness Arizona, Utah and Oregon don’t have onerous laws like this.
I feel genuine remorse for Conservatives who cannot leave California.
