Senate bill (SB) 53, which already has passed the Senate, would require California residents to register themselves with the state, undergo a background check, get fingerprinted, and pay a state fee just to buy a box of bullets.
“SB 53 would require the purchasers of ammunition to register with the state Department of Justice (DOJ) prior to purchasing any ammunition,” a press release from the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action noted. Purchasers would be required to pay for the fingerprinting and the background check.
The bill states, “This bill would require the Attorney General to also maintain copies of ammunition purchase permits, information about ammunition transactions, as specified, and ammunition vendor licenses, as specified, for those purposes.”
Another Assault On Gun Rights
Supporters say the purpose of the law is to prevent individuals in the DOJ’s Prohibited Persons File from buying ammunition. Prohibited persons include felons, the mentally ill, and persons with restraining orders against them. Another bill in the California state legislature, AB 1014, would allow judges to issue a gun restraining order that could effectively put any citizen in the Prohibited Persons File, as Off The Grid Newspreviously reported. That bill deals with the mentally ill.
“Under existing law, a person who is prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm is prohibited from owning, possessing, or having under his or her custody or control, any ammunition or reloaded ammunition,” the text of legislation states.
Senate Bill 53 was sponsored by state Senator Kevin de Leon (D-Los Angeles), the president pro tem.
De Leon has a long history of supporting gun control legislation. In January De Leon introduced a bill that would ban plastic “ghost guns” that cannot be picked up by metal detectors and would restrict the manufacture of homemade weapons in California.
GOOD IDEA, IF THEY ARE LEGAL OR GOOD PEOPLE, NO PROBLEM, IF THEY HAVE A RECORD OR ILLEGAL, WE NEED TO KNOW BEFORE THEY SHOOT UP A SCHOOL OR MALL.

Our leaders need to cool off and stop violating the 2nd Amendment. It was the wisdom of our forefathers to adopt the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution to serve as a warning to our President, Congress, and state representatives that “we the people” will preserve our liberties in the spirit of resistance if necessary and the 2nd Amendment assures the American people constitutional liberty to bear arms without infringement and as further notification to the President, Congress, and state representatives that millions of Americans possess firearms and can become an instant militia to preserve our freedom, protect our constitutional rights, and to prevent our lawmakers from circumventing the Constitution to pass tyrannical legislation that could lead to a civil uprising and ouster from their cushy government jobs.
(Definition of infringement: to break or disregard the terms of requirement – to encroach on somebody’s rights or privileges, especially in a minor or gradual way. What this means is that the right to bear arms cannot be lawfully restricted by any means whatsoever.
think about it if you have to do this they will know you have guns
