California Cannot Require Background Checks for Ammo

This was one of the stupidest laws ever, and just meant to make ammo more expensive. Calif. Appeals Court: Cannot Require Background Checks to Buy Ammo | Newsmax

In a 2-1 vote, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Pasadena, California, upheld a lower court judge's permanent injunction against enforcing the law.

Circuit Judge Sandra Ikuta said California failed to show that the law was consistent with the country's historical tradition of firearm regulation, as required under a 2022 U.S. Supreme Court precedent.

Why does anyone want to live in a state with the highest taxes, and the lowest liberty? It isn't that beautiful, and yes, I did live in California for about 5 years after college.

  1. This is good however, CA still has an excise tax of 11% on firearms and ammo. On top of 10.75% sales tax. so that $38.99 box of self defense ammo is $47.47 out the door. And yes you are right it is not that beautiful.
