#2 ...or a restraining order that would disqualify them from owning guns.

Find a 'friendly' judge and get a restraining order issued on all members of the assembly. Doesn't have to be about guns, just a restraining order to stay away.

#3 Well it might help the drug war if the coyotes are smuggling loads of ammo instead of drugs.

Would a bomb sniffing dog pick up the gunpowder in a bullet?

#4 No, It's sealed.

#5 The goal of the bill is "to ensure that ~~criminals and other dangerous~~ individuals cannot purchase ammunition in the state of California," said Sen. Kevin De Leon (D-Los Angeles), author of SB 53.

There...fixed.

#8 Nothing good ever comes from the California state legislature. They really should be abolished. Let the governor propose laws and budgets that the people either approve or disapprove via the ballot box. You might think I'm joking but I'm not. A room full of monkeys would be better than guys like De Leon. It might be interesting to see how this law stands up to scrutiny by SCOTUS. Rjschwartz makes a good comment too. With Obama refusing to secure the border bad guys can easily get their ammo on the black market.

#9 That idiotic $50 fee is gonna backfire big time. Instead of buying boxes of ammo, people will buy cases.

#10 But the criminals - they won't be able to afford the big fee, right?

Right? That's the idea, isn't it?

#11 The rubes in Sacto are setting up conditions for a lucrative black market in ammo. I guess they never heard of how the ban on alcohol worked during the twenties.

These are the same people who argue a prohibition on drugs doesn't work. Go figure.

#12 Bet the Walmart in Yuma sees a huge surge in California visitors.
