California ponders bullet control; background checks for ammo buyers

[KG1]

Just remember boys and girls, the Second Amendment only protects your right to keep and bear arms. It says NOTHING about ammunition...................

I would not consider bearing an unloaded firearm as "bearing arms". Unless you consider using it as a club but that is not it's primary intended function.

The fact that it does not specifically mention ammunition is of little consequence and IMO any argument to the contrary would be shot down in flames if the issue ever came before SCOTUS.

IIRC the British were on their way to Concord to confiscate ball and powder when they ran into a bit of trouble.

Sigh.
They used 20 years of logs to catch "about" 200 felons.
That sounds impressive at first.
To me, that sounds like a VERY low ROI (Return On Investment).

So much in that article made me want to throw up.

I can't wait for the inevitable outbreak of drive-thru FFLs at every little town on the Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon borders.
