Judge: California can't require background checks for ammo

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

SAN DIEGO - A federal judge Thursday blocked background checks for ammunition buyers in California, calling the state's law on the matter "onerous and convoluted."

San Diego-based U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez granted a preliminary injunction against the rule after plaintiffs, including the California Rifle and Pistol Association and six-time Olympic medalist skeet shooter Kim Rhode, sued the state.

In 2016, Golden State voters approved Proposition 63, which included the background checks as well as a ban on high-capacity magazines for firearms. The same judge halted sales of the magazines as the state appeals another court challenge.

But in this case, Benitez was unequivocal.

1. Can they tax the shit out of it? Put "place of origin" stamps on the ammo?

That would hamper purchase of out of state ammo... yes?

2. probably would be viewed as unconstitutional once the tax reached a prohibitive cost

If the Heller decision of locking up guns was viewed as an infringement, making ammo unobtainable by cost probably won't fly either.

As for taxing it from out of state, interstate tariffs is prohibited by the constitution
