I couldn't find a thread about the lawsuit that was filed in 2016after this law passed, so I figured I would put it here. California Rifle & Pistol Association challenging California's Ammo Sales Background Check

Yesterday was a hearing: Rhode v Becerra (S.D. CA) - Hearing on CRPA's request for preliminary injunction.

Update on the Rhode v Becerra hearing (S.D. CA, 2016 ammo laws): "[Judge Benitez] was asking very good questions of the state about why the second amendment right is not treated the same as the other rights by the state." (1/2)

"Short version is our side believes there are to many rejections in the system ( 10,000+) in July with only 106 of those actually being prohibited persons . Something like 18% rejections in July . So we are saying this system is over burdensome to the general public."

Here's a dooooooozy - This a hell of a position to take by the state

"Right at the beginning the state conceded if you were from out of state visiting for hunting or what ever you can just have a friend who is a CA resident buy you some ammo or you can give that friend the money to buy you ammo and that was all legal . Which the judge just shook his head in disbelief because the state just said it's OK to do straw purchases in the state of CA."

"In an in-depth and wide-ranging interview, Michel says that during the first month of ammo law, 11,000 of the 65,000 ammunition purchases in the state were flagged, delayed, and in many cases denied. Does that mean 11,000 criminals were stopped from buying bullets? Not even close. According to Michel, the state of California says 100 prohibited persons were prevented from buying ammunition at retail in the state."

Thousands of lawful California gun owners are being denied ammunition purchases. Here's why

Informative video at the link too.

"Of the 345,547 ammunition background checks performed, only 101 stopped the buyer because he or she was a "prohibited person" who can't legally possess ammunition, according to state Department of Justice data.

Yet another 62,000 ammunition purchases were rejected as well. Those people left empty-handed because their personal information hadn't been entered into the state's system, or the information on their identification cards didn't match what officials had entered into the California gun registry database, which retail sellers must review when they do the ammunition background check."

Doh!

"Fiona Benjamin, 23, is one of the new hunters the state is actively trying to recruit, but she said she found herself blocked from purchasing ammunition this fall because she hadn’t registered a gun. Up to that point, she’d borrowed a friend’s shotgun when she was out in the field.

In order to get registered to buy ammo, Benjamin, a recent UC Davis graduate from Half Moon Bay, said she did what California lawmakers, who are wary of having more guns and ammunition in circulation, probably didn’t intend when they passed their gun legislation.

She bought a new shotgun, and she said she plans on stockpiling ammunition when she clears the Department of Justice’s system."

BREAKING: Rhode v Becerra (S.D. CA): In a 120pg order, Judge Benitez grants preliminary injunction against California's ammo background check law. "That a majority today may wish it were otherwise, does not change the Constitutional right. It never has." https://courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.casd.571335/gov.uscourts.casd.571335.60.0.pdf…

"...the Second Amendment is not a "loophole" that needs to be closed."

California is about the start Freedom Week 2.0

There is going to be a run on ammo.

 

[tmoore912]

The 9th Circuit has stayed the preliminary injunction which allowed ammo sales without a background check in CA. Back to the existing law.
So Cali had Freedom day 2.0 instead of Freedom week 2.0.

BREAKING: Rhode v Becerra (9th Circuit): The request for an immediate administrative stay is granted. The district court's 4/23/20 preliminary injunction order is temporarily stayed pending further court order. The court will address the emergency stay motion by separate order.
