    This doesn't apply to you Indiana Statesmen, it just applies to the few of us still in California (working on the escape plan).

    A big preliminary win for the California Rifle and Pistol Association in its fight against California’s ludicrous ammunition background check law, the case known as Rhode v. Becerra. US District Court Judge Roger Benitez — the same District Court judge who set off the week-long standard capacity magazine buying spree — has issued an injunction blocking enforcement of the law. In addition, he has blocked the law that prohibited the purchase of ammunition from out of state FFL, and the 'import' of it back to California (ammunition could not be brought into the state (by anyone)).

    Benitez wrote:

    Law-abiding citizens are imbued with the unalienable right to keep and bear firearms along with the ammunition to make their firearms work. That a majority today may wish it were otherwise, does not change the Constitutional right. It never has. California has tried its unprecedented experiment. The casualties suffered by law abiding citizens have been counted.

    And finally . . .

    Defendant Attorney General Xavier Becerra, and his officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, and those persons in active concert or participation with him, and those duly sworn state peace officers and federal law enforcement officers who gain knowledge of this injunction order or know of the existence of this injunction order, are enjoined from implementing or enforcing the ammunition sales background check provisions found in California Penal Code §§ 30370(a) through (d) and 30352, and the ammunition anti-importation provisions found in §§ 30312(a) and (b), and 30314(a) as well as the criminal enforcement of California Penal Code §§ 30365, 30312(d) and 30314(c).

    But it may be only temporary... the same judge rescinded the 10-round magazine limit law earlier in the year, which the AG of California has taken to the SCOTUS.

    Judge says CA law requiring background checks on ammo violates 2A

    The judge that made this ruling was the same one who ruled last year that California's magazine restrictions were unconstitutional. He's become quite the friend to 2A advocates.

    Hopefully this ruling is as entertaining of a read as the mag restrictions ruling. That one was a real verbal beat down to the AG of California.

    A federal judge in California ruled that a law requiring background checks to purchase ammunition violates the Second Amendment.

    Voters approved toughening California firearms laws to include background checks on ammo purchases in 2016, and the restrictions took effect last July. The California Rifle & Pistol Association filed a lawsuit against the state shortly after.

    U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez called the law "onerous and convoluted" and "constitutionally defective."

    "The experiment has been tried. The casualties have been counted. California's new ammunition background check law misfires and the Second Amendment rights of California citizens have been gravely injured," Benitez, a Bush appointee, wrote in the ruling.

    BUT it’s taken 3-4 years of their right a being infringed upon to straighten out.

    the law maker or person behind this gets nothing. They KNOW it will fail in court when challenged, but they do it because it’s a few years “free” and there is no or little repercussions. those writing these laws need to face the court for the crimes.

    as civilians are told, ignorance does not make as excuse in the eyes of the law.

    I hope the injunction sticks, just reading on the BG checks for ammo sounded like a nightmare, you could only purchase ammo for a gun registered in that caliber, so every gun you have has to be registered....a night mare for collectors.....Damn Khalifphornia sucks!!
