This video discusses a proposed increase in California's ammunition purchase fee from $1 to $5 by the Department of Justice. Attorney Matt Cabalo explains the history of the fee, stemming from Proposition 63 and related legislation, which mandates background checks for ammunition purchases. The DOJ cites the need to cover operational costs and repay a $25 million loan, as initial transaction estimates were significantly overestimated, leading to the system's insolvency. The proposal is subject to a public comment period ending October 8, 2024.

Following Judge Bonz's injunction in Rhode v. Bonta, California's ammunition regulations have been temporarily overturned. Licensed dealers are no longer required to use the DRO system for eligibility checks or conduct face-to-face transfers. Residents can now legally purchase and transport ammunition from out-of-state, provided it is otherwise legal in California. Enforcement of specific penal code sections related to ammunition sales has been enjoined.
