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.
As of September 13th, New York State has implemented a new law requiring individuals to undergo a state-level background check in addition to the federal NICS system for both firearm and ammunition purchases. This new process incurs a fee of $9 per background check for ammunition, significantly increasing the cost of purchasing ammunition. The law is expected to face legal challenges and may impede Second Amendment rights by creating financial barriers to firearm and ammunition acquisition.
New York State has implemented a new regulation requiring both federal and state background checks for ammunition purchases, effective September 13th. This dual-check system, overseen by the New York State Police, adds an intermediary step and associated fees ($2.50 for ammunition checks).

As of September 13th, New York State has implemented a new law requiring residents to undergo a state-specific background check in addition to the federal NICS system for firearm and ammunition purchases. This new process incurs a fee, with ammunition purchases costing an additional nine dollars for the background check. The law also includes 'red flag' provisions that may deny purchases of large quantities of ammunition.
This video discusses the unintended consequences of California's ammunition background check system, which requires a fee and a check for every ammunition purchase. The system's complexity and fees are reportedly leading some Californians to purchase more firearms to ensure their information is up-to-date in the state's system, thus backfiring on the law's intent to discourage ownership. The ongoing lawsuit Rhode v. Bonta, heard by Judge Roger T. Benitez, aims to overturn this law.
