New Pretended Legislation In California Has Gun Owners Scrambling For Ammo
The representatives in California are among some of the most corrupt and lawless people in the united States and “pretended legislation” known as Proposition 63, which was “signed into law” by Governor Jerry Brown is nothing more than a new implementation of an old scheme to confiscate guns from both law-abiding and lawbreaking gun owners and is set to go into effect January 1, 2018.
Among the many things the pretended legislation criminalizes is home delivery of ammunition purchased online.
Beginning in 2018, residents of the Golden State won’t be able to have bullets delivered to their homes.

Instead, those bullets will have to be delivered to a firearms dealer with a federal firearms license or any other entity that’s been approved by the Department of Justice.
Additionally, a background check will be required before the ammunition is transferred to the customer.
This has led to skyrocketing sales and a mad dash by California residents to obtain ammunition before January 1.
CBS San Francisco reports:
Ammunition sales across California are skyrocketing heading into the end of the year, but the deals have nothing to do with Christmas or holiday sales.
Direct-mail ammo sales are up 187 percent over last year, with some of the biggest increases are in the Bay Area.
In Concord, sales have rocketed 968 percent. In Santa Clara, sales have spiked 315 percent.
California hunters and gun enthusiasts are stocking up on ammunition this holiday season with online sales.
Come January 1, ammo purchased online can’t be delivered to your doorstep. It will have to be shipped to a licensed dealer that has been approved by the Department of Justice.
…
Starting July of 2019, California residents will need to have a background check prior to purchasing ammo.
Seriously, this will not only raise the cost of ammunition, but is a clear violation of the rights of the people purchasing the ammo if they are law-abiding citizens.
Guns without ammo are useless and ammo without guns is useless.
Among other things the pretended legislation has in it are the following:
Important new gun laws will come into effect in California on January 1, 2018, pursuant to Proposition 63, which was coauthored by Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom and the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, and subsequently approved by voters on November 2016’s statewide ballot.
“The only thing that has become more predictable than another horrific shooting is the moral cowardice that follows from the NRA-backed politicians in Washington,” said California Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, who co-authored Proposition 63. “But here in California, we defeated the NRA and passed Proposition 63, a series of commonsense gun violence prevention measures that will make our communities safer. Significantly, it means we finally have a process in place to ensure that dangerous, convicted criminals are forced to get rid of their guns.”
The Proposition 63 provisions coming into effect on January 1, 2018 are new laws for convicted criminals to turn over their firearms and tighter controls for internet ammunition sales, and are detailed below:
1. Criminal Relinquishment of Firearms:
Beginning on January 1, 2018, Proposition 63 introduces and implements a clear, mandatory, and enforceable process for criminal offenders to give up their firearms upon their conviction.Until now, a major gap in California law is that the state has no mechanism to ensure that individuals who have been convicted of a serious criminal offense —including domestic violence crimes— actually turn over possession of their firearms upon conviction.
According to the California Department of Justice (DOJ), thousands of such individuals illegally retain possession of firearms every year. More than 7,700 armed prohibited persons (“APPS”) were added to this database in 2014, of which at least 42%—more than 3,200 people—were individuals who illegally retained firearms after a new criminal conviction.
Instead of implementing a standard, enforceable process that proactively ensures prohibited offenders give up their firearms prior to sentencing in a criminal case, California currently requires teams of law enforcement officers to go door-to-door to recover convicted criminals’ weapons. This process imposes an extraordinary manpower and financial burden on law enforcement, and in many cases proves too little too late to prevent prohibited offenders from using firearms to perpetrate violence in California.
Proposition 63, beginning on January 1, 2018, implements a clear, mandatory, and enforceable process for the relinquishment of firearms by prohibited criminal offenders. It provides by far the most detailed, comprehensive, and enforceable state law anywhere in the country to proactively ensure that prohibited criminal offenders comply with existing law and relinquish their firearms after conviction.
Defendants convicted of firearm-prohibiting crimes, such as felonies, or misdemeanors involving violence, domestic abuse, or illegal weapon use, must provide proof that they sold or transferred their firearms within specified time periods after conviction. Probation officers and courts must verify that the defendant complied with this requirement before final disposition of the defendant’s case and shall take further enforcement action to recover firearms from offenders who fail to do so.
2. AMMUNITION SALES
Beginning on January 1, 2018, Proposition 63, ammunition sales must be conducted by or processed through licensed vendors. It will serve to prevent certain convicted criminals from purchasing ammunition once the new law for background checks for ammunition sales come online in July 2019.Sales of ammunition by unlicensed individuals must be processed through a licensed ammunition vendor, in a manner similar to private party firearms transactions, and ammunition obtained over the Internet or from out of state must be initially shipped to a licensed ammunition vendor for physical delivery to the purchaser pursuant to a background check.
It means that, beginning January 1, 2018, online or catalogue ammunition purchases will need to be shipped to a licensed vendor for transaction, instead of having ammunition directly to the home. It expands throughout California similar local ordinances prohibiting direct mail of ammunition, already in place in some California cities.
The license requirements apply to individuals who sell more than 500 rounds of ammunition in any month. Those vendors must obtain an ammunition vendor license and conduct ammunition sales only at specified business locations. It means gun dealers must obtain a DOJ certificate of eligibility from employees who handle ammunition, verifying that they passed a background check.

Possession of large capacity magazines (LCMs) that hold more than 10 rounds was scheduled to become prohibited on and after July 1, 2017. Individuals who own previously grandfathered magazines must dispose of their magazines as specified.
All of this is a clear violation of the protections of the Second Amendment and the rights of the people of California to keep and bear arms. Yet, they continue to elect those who tyrannically run roughshod over their rights and the rights of their neighbors as they advance a Communist agenda.
No doubt, ammunition in California is about to become the next “war on drugs” as it will most assuredly turn into a black market.
