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....

I think that's pretty simplistic. What if Travis, Bowie and Crockett had said that when the Alamo was under attack? We either stand and fight this here and now or surrender later, one state at a time.
IIRC, a Mexican generalissamo razed the Alamo to the ground. Want to try a different analogy?
I am out of this damned state. Just bought a house in NV.
Texas was a part of Mexico at that time. Apples and oranges.
100. Liberals think 100 rounds can kill 100 people. I have heard them call 1,000 all kinds of names.
How can the militia be “we’ll regulated” if they can’t practice with live ammo?
When a peace officer refuses to enforce an unconstitutional act, the peace officer is not breaking the law, but upholding the law.
the 1886 Supreme Court decision Norton v. Shelby County: An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties, affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.
the 1803 case of Marbury v. Madison: All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.
These [gun-control measures] are not laws, they are unconstitutional acts. You have the authority and duty to nullify this.

Okay, then lets go back to our 1914 and 1938 military strategy then. That worked out so well.
It is inevitable, California is going to fall into the deep blue sea.
LOL! yep!
I’m not leaving but if I had to I’d support the gangs before telling the government how much ammo I’m buying. This could be big business in south LA.
How come the government can pay for my 12 year old’s abortion without telling me, under the “privacy” interpretation of the constitution, but they also get to know about each bullet I purchase and what health treatment?
I left in 1989.
Returned in 1991.
Left again for good in 1992. Haven’t been back since.
It’s a damn shame was has happened to that once amazing, beautiful state.
If it does, Free Republic and Jim Robinson go with it. We should probably work at supporting freedom in CA.

I left in 2010
I no longer have any faith in the Supreme Court. Since we can now be taxed by our masters for not buying a product, I see no hope that they would overturn this kind of law. California isn’t saying a resident can’t buy ammunition, they just want you to pay for the privilege.
1968 here.

You had to show passports? While driving from Yuma, Arizona to California?
This is the kind of legislation that screams out for a black market. Ammo ‘smuggled’ in from out of state will be cheaper and without the invasion of privacy. This law’s ‘loophole’ will be gun clubs buying out-of-state in bulk for their members.
