Calguns and yes, they are VERY effective and well funded, but the lunacy has gone into over-drive.Does Cali have organizations like Comm2A or GOAL?
unfu***ng believable! Expect the same moron though process to happen here in MA
Those who live near the Oregon, Nevada or Arizona borders might not have it as bad. They can combine a mini-vacation with an ammo-shopping trip (ie: buy it cheap as possible and stack it deep!). I agree. CA is crazy!How is that even going to work? Are they going to running a NICS check for each box of ammo? What if you get "Delayed"; come back in 3 days to pick it up?
What's next, a ban on high capacity slingshots?
Lawmakers are acting on hundreds of bills this week as they face a Friday deadline to pass bills from one house to the other, marking the midway point in the year's legislative session. The firearms bills passing the Senate on Wednesday included:
— SB47, which prohibits so-called bullet buttons and other devices that gun manufacturers use to circumvent the state's assault weapons ban and allow swift reloading. A similar bill, AB48, passed in the Assembly and bans conversion kits that allow people to modify their weapons.
— SB567, which changes the definition of a type of shotgun that is already banned in the state to include a shotgun-rifle combination.
— SB53, which requires ammunition buyers to get a permit, have a background check and pay a fee.
— SB396, which bans ammunition magazines over 10 rounds, including those that people already own.
— SB755, which expands the list of those prohibited from owning weapons to include people convicted of additional drug and alcohol offenses.
— SB683, which expands the requirement for a firearms safety certificate from handguns to rifle purchases.
— SB374, which prohibits the sale, purchase, manufacture, importation or transfer of semi-automatic rifles that can accept detachable magazines.
— SB299, which requires gun owners to promptly inform law enforcement agencies when a gun is lost or stolen. Failing to report within 48 hours would be an infraction punishable by a $100 fine.
— SB293, which requires that guns sold in the state be equipped with technology, such as biometric readers, that would prevent anyone but the registered owner from firing them.
The Assembly passed AB500 by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, which requires gun owners to safely store their firearms when someone who lives in the home is prohibited from owning a weapon because of mental illness or a criminal record.
The bill also allows for a seven-day extension on the current 10-day waiting period for weapons purchases if the state Department of Justice needs the extra time to complete a background check and requires dealers to notify the justice department when the buyer has taken possession.
QFE.The faster this all comes to an end the better.
Real confiscation. Awesome. I hope it passes the house and the governor signs it.

That is confiscation, or in legal terms a "taking" when you lose life liberty and property without due process...I do not see confiscation in there...what it does do is make for instant felons...
There's more.
SB396 (banning currently owned magazines), is particularly frightening.
Senate passes series of gun, ammunition bills - SFGate

Losing the ability to use and sell your lawfully purchased property deprives you of its value. That is a taking.I disagree with you. It is not confiscation in the sense that someone comes to your door to take them. And you do not lose life or liberty without due process. If one is found, the possessor (,unless a TV host) will be charged with the crime under current law and be tried.
Marijuana is illegal ... does arresting you for having an illegal substance mean confiscation?
