Townhall: Gun owners in California rejoice. At least part of your state’s anti-gun agenda has been blocked by a federal judge. The new law on background checks for ammunition sales has been put on hold, with Judge Roger Benitez ruling that the law was “onerous and convoluted.” This was a law years in the making, passed by a 2016 ballot initiative. It was supposed to go into effect July of this year. read more

Next step: Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, now with Trump appointees.
Then SCOTUS, with two Trump appointees.
Elections have consequences
The anti’s will just try and try again till they get what they want.
Look how far that relentless effort has brought them in the last 50 years.
They won’t give up.

“They won’t give up.”
…well then, neither should we.

This year? I thought the CA ammo BG check went into effect in July of 2019. Anybody?
My Cali friend told this me yesterday. He’s a liberal and even he was pissed about the law. Said he stocked up on 9mm before it went into effect and agrees it’s unconstitutional. I was mildly surprised by his same stance as my own, he kind of straddles the line. I get some anti-gun statements from him consistently, but he keeps a pistol handy and won’t go without it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Uncle Al, My friend and another Cali in the conversation said it was in effect and they had been through the check for every purchase since then. “It’s not that bad. Only takes 5 minutes.”
They were both happy about this turn of events.
Time to cut off every cent of Federal Funding for anything in California or New York. If they don’t like America surely they don’t want our money.
The ninth already issued a stay on it
That didn’t last long. Cali DMV issued me one of those “not good for Fed ID” license so I can’t buy ammo in Cali. But I’m an FFL so I buy it at dealer pricing from the distributors.
@Bad_Brad:
I’m a little confused. your ‘not good for fed ID’ license; is that a state driver’s license? How can that not be a fed ID?

Yea. The state of California has been issuing its residence Driver License that are no good for ID. You can’t even get on a plane with one.

I understand the sentiment(alism). I do. But define “good”.
Because, if it involves the right pious straightening of bowties. The insistence of “evil” waiting it’s “proper” turn. As “we” all, must wait our “proper” turn. And much mincing about. While they wait. Until the “good” agree, amongst their respectable, bowtied, selves, that “It is their turn, again”. Because… rules… and stuff.
Their “sacrifice” will be, truly, “unpitied”. Even by some “evil”, have always, called “enemy”.
“Emergency” stay…

Keep pushing, assholes.
Has ANYONE checked to see if we have enough ROPE in this country these days?! 🤔
Because when all the bastards that NEED hanging are hung, there WILL be a SERIOUS shortage THEN!!! 😳
@Bob M. — Not to worry. I hear that red tape is plenty strong enough and we have millions and millions of miles of it in this country. Heck, we’d have plenty just with the EPA, OSHA, and local business licensing offices.
