HUGE WIN: CA Ammo Background Checks Ruled Unconstitutional
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled California's ammunition background check regulations, established by Proposition 63 in 2016, unconstitutional. This decision, stemming from the Roodie v. Bonta lawsuit, affirms previous rulings and finds the regime to be a facial violation of the Second Amendment. The court applied the Bruen framework, determining that the background check system meaningfully constrains the right to keep operable arms and that the state failed to demonstrate its consistency with historical firearm regulation traditions. This ruling impacts various aspects of ammunition transactions in California.
