Judge in Ca rules background check for ammo unconstitutional
« on: February 01, 2024, 08:11:09 AM »
A California law requiring people to submit to a background check every time they want to purchase ammunition is unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled in a decision made public Wednesday.

U.S. District Judge Roger T. Benitez found state laws prohibiting California buyers from purchasing and importing ammunition from out-of-state sellers likewise violate federal law.
Benitez barred the state from enforcing the laws moving forward and denied a request from California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta’s office to put his decision on hold while the state appeals to a higher court.

It took less than a week this time for the 9th to against stymie Judge Benitez and his clear thinking. The 9th is full of anti-Constitutionalists

Of course it’s unconstitutional, it’s retarded.

Unlikely.  SCOTUS will likely hand the case back to the 9th and tell them to make a ruling using the criteria set by Bruen.  9th will lie and say, uhh yeah we did.  Repeat.

Frankly, I hope SCOTUS doesn't take this case soon.  While it's clearly unconstitutional, they've shown they'll only take 0-1 cases related to 2A per season.  I'd like to see them overrule the assault weapons ban or the 11% CA excise tax.  Not all infringements are equal and these are worse.  I don't know how working class folks can afford a gun these days with 30% tax (10% federal excise tax + 11% CA excise tax + 8-10% CA sales tax).

I think the CA DOJ is trolling me.  After my last rant about taxes on firearms, CA DOJ announced their plan to raise the fee for ammo background checks from $1 to $5.

That's great new for people in CA. The gun laws in that state is becoming too unbearable.
