A federal judge has decided that citizens of California are exempt from having to pay for and pass a background check each time they purchase ammunition. U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez in San Diego said the gun control measure has “no historical pedigree” and violates the Second Amendment rights of citizens.” “A sweeping background check requirement imposed every time a citizen needs to buy ammunition is an outlier that our ancestors would have never accepted for a citizen,”
While some states also demand background checks before ammunition purchases, most allow short-term license purchases.
The goal of California’s law is to assist law enforcement in apprehending individuals who unlawfully possess firearms, such as mentally ill individuals, convicted felons, and those with a history of domestic abuse.
On occasion, they purchase kits online and put together firearms at home. The guns lack serial numbers, making it challenging for law police to locate the owners, but when they attempt to purchase ammunition, their identities are revealed through background checks. U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez’s decision from Tuesday became operative right away.
Most Californians said that the process is simple: they present their military ID or California driver’s license, pay $1 for a background check, wait a short while, pay for their ammunition, and then exit the store with their ammunition. In California, individuals who have never had their background checked before purchasing a firearm can pay $19 for a one-time, non-instant background check and then return to the store a few days later to buy their ammunition.
Do you want to evade this law by purchasing ammunition in a different state? It is possible to buy ammunition from outside California but to import it into the state; you must mail it to an authorized California ammunition supplier. Only then can they verify your identity and return your ammunition to you. The amount the vendor may charge for this service is not legally restricted.
ABC News reported that Chuck Michel, president and general counsel of the California Rifle & Pistol Association, said California’s requirement for a background check on all ammunition purchases “has not made anyone safer.”
