California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom is prosecuting a campaign against the Second Amendment. This past Thursday, Mr. Newsom released a state-wide ballot campaign to regulate the purchase of ammunition by requiring point of sale background checks for ammunition purchases. The ballot would also ban the sale of magazines that hold over 10 rounds.
“New York also requires instant ammunition background checks as part of its 2013 SAFE Act, but Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, suspended the provision in July, citing an inadequate state database.
“New York tried. California will be the first to do it,” said Mr. Newsom. “California will step up and step into this debate in a meaningful way. And I’ll say this to the NRA with all due respect that you can intimidate politicians — we’ve seen them. But you can’t intimidate the public. That’s why we’re bringing this directly to the public.”
The NRA Institute for Legislative Action spokeswoman Amy Hunter rebuffed Newsom’s announcement, stating:
“California illustrates the true gun-control agenda, which is the ultimate confiscation and banning of firearms. If Gavin Newsom gets his way, the state will be the next Australia,” Ms. Hunter said in a statement.
“His ballot initiative proposal does nothing but prohibit access to the most effective methods for self-defense, with no measurable positive effect on stopping crime or improving public safety,” she said. “They can’t repeal the Second Amendment, so they’re trying to chip away our rights until there is nothing left.”

With the election season already in full swing and Election Day a little over a year away, did Gavin Newsom really expect to pull this stunt off without anyone noticing?
Amen
No more people that have guns in the land of fruits and nuts will make any law or change in the way you can get ammunition no big deal. The restrictions that people have in that state make almost impossible to own and possess firearms. What they need is a good house cleaning, and get all new leadership.
start using the bullets on these corrupt scumbaghs.
The truth is what counts !!!!
More truth !!!!
2nd amendment lives on forever!!!! Our fore fathers said so!!!
They can’t handle the truth…
Just buy ammo online
Guess they don’t know peeps can actually make bullets in their own home?
