Hey, I resemble that ... I told all my buds to stock up. So yeah, there will be a left coast run on ammo. Get it while you can...
We don't know if 03FFL's will be able to purchase ammo for collector weapons w/o the permit (yet). The final rules will be reviewed at least three times before they are set. Since an 03 is a Federal License, it might take precedent over a State issue (Donald, are you listening ...).
You'all know Cali is the lab maze for the rest of the country. These are imaginative attempts to allow you to have all the weapons you want, just no bullets ... Obviously testing the limits of the 2A ...
The Calif Legislature, and to some extent Jerry Brown, have squared off against Trump on a number of issues. Now we'll see how that plays out. For sure, one of the groups that will see fuller pay checks will be the lawyers. Every bit of this will be challenged at some point.
It's not just ammo - it's black rifles and semi-auto pistols too - and State issued serial numbers. There are all sorts of gears being worked. In the short run it sucks. In the long run it sets up a very nice scenarios for 2A challenges through the 9th Circuit which gets overturned 80% of the time. This may all turn out to be more important than Heller ...
Yeah, the fall back position is reloading. But that'll get stepped on too - eventually.
The issue with out of State sales is full of holes. If I'm in Wyo or NV visiting family and buy cash, how's that going to be tracked? Yeah, I may be in violation coming back in, but how are they going to check?
If they stop and check every vehicle thoroughly (which they can't even do at the Mexican Border, there will be no tourist industry (a significant piece of revenues). And if my cousin, who does not live here, drives me in a couple of cases, are they going to search them - can we say unlawful search and seizure. What's the trigger? What's the Due Cause?
This will all take some test cases, so it will be slow - but once SCOTUS rules, it'll all become clearer.
Meanwhile a national right to carry law will drive the libs nutz
