Natalie Krebs, "Federal Judge Overturns California Law Requiring Background Checks for Every Ammo Purchase", Outdoor Life, 31 Jan 2024.
30 Jan 2024 Federal District Judge Roger Benitez declared the California law requiring in-person background checks for every ammo purchase to be both unConstitutional and uneffective.
Under the CA ammo BG system, 11% to 16% of ammo purchasers were rejected for false positive matches and only 0.03% of purchasers were rightly rejected because they actually were prohibited persons. ...
"The decision comes in response to a lawsuit, Rhode v. Becerra, that was filed against the state by online retailer Ammunition Depot, the California Rifle & Pistol Association, and California native Kim Rhode, a six-time Olympic medalist in double trap and skeet."
The CA ammo BG check fee added $10 to the cost of a box of ammo in California. It could take up to three days to get an answer back.
The CA ammo BG check is dependent on current address matching your state issued drivers license or other ID. You move, change address, you get rejected.
"The law says that the address on your driver’s license has to match the address in their system, and ‘in the system’ is the last time you purchased a gun. ... They have to do an address change to get their address corrected in the system. Typically that has taken people so long that it is easier just to buy a gun to get in the system with your new address. I have talked to people who have been told by the state Department of Justice, ‘just go buy a new gun, it will be faster.’ So that’s a real problem."
