California Legal Update on Gunmageddon - Part 2 Ammunition

This video discusses the legal landscape surrounding ammunition purchases in California, specifically focusing on a law that requires background checks and prohibits direct-to-home shipping.

The discussion also touches on the broader implications of such legislation and the importance of making voices heard through voting and advocacy.

This video details a significant legal victory for gun rights advocates in California, where Judge Roger T. Benitez struck down laws requiring background checks for ammunition purchases. The ruling, presented by William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, emphasizes that these requirements violate the Second Amendment, the Commerce Clause, and federal preemption laws. The decision is seen as a major blow to California's stringent firearm regulations.

This video discusses a significant legal victory in Rhode v. Bonta, where the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled California's ammunition background check scheme unconstitutional.

As of January 1, 2018, California residents can no longer order ammunition online or through the mail for direct delivery.

The video notes that as of the recording date, California Department of Justice had not yet issued vendor licenses, creating uncertainty about the process. Background checks for ammunition purchases are not expected to be implemented until January 1, 2019.

Joel Pursley of GunGuyTV provides expert guidance on legally avoiding AR-15 registration in California by making the rifle 'featureless'. He details the necessary modifications: replacing the adjustable stock with a straight one, swapping the flash hider for a muzzle brake, and installing a fin grip instead of a pistol grip.
