Frequently Asked Questions

What was Proposition 63 in California?

Proposition 63, enacted in 2019, required all ammunition purchases in California to go through a background check system, similar to buying a firearm. This included checks for any ammunition, even online purchases, and involved fees for eligibility checks.

Why was Proposition 63's ammunition background check law overturned?

The 9th Circuit Court ruled Proposition 63's ammunition background check law unconstitutional, citing the Bruin decision. The court found no historical precedent for requiring background checks to purchase ammunition, deeming it a violation of Second Amendment rights.

What were the problems with California's ammunition background check system?

The system led to 16% of purchasers being denied due to mismatched or outdated identification in the DOJ system, not criminal history. Purchasers also faced fees for eligibility checks, with potential for additional costs if initial checks failed due to administrative errors.

What are the implications of the overturned ammunition background check law?

This ruling means no more unconstitutional denials for ammunition purchases and potentially faster service. It also sets a precedent that could impact future legal challenges against other firearm restrictions, such as magazine bans, in California.
