There have been a lot of anti-freedom gun control bills introduced in the California legislature.
The worst are bills AB602 and AB992. These bills propose a 10 cent tax on each round, primer, bullet or casing sold in California.

California Gun Control Alert! They want big taxes on your firearm ammunition
--Boris
California's recent legislative history has changed my mind.
From the lowly city council, through the state legislature to the US 9th Circuit, California's liberal fringe has determined to erase the 2nd Amendment in California.
I read your reply today and realize your predictions are more likely than not.
How long should name brand ammo last in storage? I have a friend who has many boxes of 9mm rounds. They are stored in a cool, dry, dark place. Should my friend expect this ammo to be stable for 3 years, 7 years, 10 years... or do you suggest that my friend use this ammo up at target practice and replace it periodically?
This info would also be helpful if they pass this law, to know how much ammo my friend should stock up before the tax is implemented.
Also, is this information applicable to other size rounds, in case my friend buys a .38 or a .40 or .50 calibre handgun? And is it applicable to shotgun rounds?
Your friend needs to stop discussing his circumstances on the internet.
Um, calling a cult compound run by a whackjob a "church" doesn't make it one, and there was nothing heroic about those idiot Davidians. They had every opportunity to end the matter peacefully, and failed to avail themselves of the chance.
There is no Constitutional right to have an armed standoff with your own government.
Now just so you won't think i'm holdin back, point your browser to some of these sites to see just how easy it really is to manufacture your own ammunition.
