This video discusses a significant increase in California's background check fees for ammunition, effective July 1st, 2025. The fee for each eligibility check will rise from $1 to $5. The California Department of Justice largely ignored public comments opposing the increase, and the Office of Administrative Law approved it. The speaker highlights this as an unconstitutional taxation of a right and mentions the ongoing Roody Vivont lawsuit challenging ammunition background check regulations.
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.
