A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit killed California’s ammunition restrictions in July. They ruled that background checks for ammunition were unconstitutional, which opened the door.
And Californians did it right.
See, while they had to deal with an absolute headache in trying to buy ammo, including not being able to get it online at all, before the ruling. While there’s a stay in place, basically, and it sure as hell sounds like they did just that for the time they had.
Lifelong hunter J.R. Young of San Jose rushed to an online ammunition dealer last week after a federal court decision overturned a California gun law that required background checks in person at every point of sale.
“Is this freedom week?” he said. “I was just curious to see if this striking down of the law is allowing companies to ship into the state again.
“The way we live in society now — when we want to buy something, we don’t want to go and take a trip to the store.”
Many bullet junkies, hunters and gun enthusiasts like Young quietly celebrated the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that may or may not ultimately put a dent in the state’s strict policies for purchasing ammunition.
