Just read on a Facebook app post thing that California is now charging people $50 for a permit to buy ammo. Not sure how long the permit lasts or is it every time you wanna buy ammo. Any more news on this?

Don't give the politicians in NJ any ideas.

Thread forwarded to Christie...

 

Might be an area of compromise to save your .50 cals.

I just did a little digging and came up with this...http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2013/06/17/california-senate-passes-bill-requiring-permit-to-buy-ammo/

Looks like there is some truth to this.  What a bunch of crap.

 

I think this might be the video referenced in the article

 

I dont like the way things are going.

Ken

Wow ken, I forgot all about that stand up.

$5000

I remember his stand up. Haha

Matrix: not trying to give the gov any more ideas. Just thought this was crazy

i would say that if nj were to do this, i'd  be buying all of my ammo across the bridge in the free country.

and juding by this......

 

If liberals want to derail the right to bear arms and make sure that common citizens cannot afford to defend themselves, the cost-prohibitive per-purchase ammo fee law will surely do the trick.

 

 it's per purchase.......

Man, sometimes I forget that it's even legal to posses a firearm. All this country does is make me feel like a criminal for owning a firearm and purchasing ammo.

BREAKING: California Passes Ammo Permit Fee

 

California once again proved it is one of the least Second Amendment friendly states in America. State legislators just passed a $50 ammo permit fee and background check law. If liberals want to derail the right to bear arms and make sure that common citizens cannot afford to defend themselves, the cost-prohibitive per-purchase ammo fee law will surely do the trick.

The great ammo shortage of 2013 is still in full swing. Store shelves still remain quite empty and demand has driven prices up in many locations around the country. Between the over-zealous ammo grabbing by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the California ammo permit law, gun owners in the West Coast state may soon be entirely out of bullets.

Making it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to obtain guns and ammunition will only increase the growing crime rate in the highly populated state. The California Senate appears to once again be demonstrating their willingness to infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of constituents. High taxes and the state’s distaste for the Constitution have prompted thousands of California residents to relocate elsewhere, Texas in particular.

I used to be able to mock this stuff and laugh it off. However, the actions of these progressives have me VERY concerned for our families, country and future. Couple this with our government backing known terrorists and it's a recipe for complete disaster. After reading articles and seeing video of these ruthless terrorist, I refuse to give up any of my firearms...I (my family) will not be subject to these evil, ruthless animals!

 

Wait, 50 bucks every time you want to buy ammo?

 

You know, there are some things I like about California, such as the wine and the weather and that there are lots of tech companies there. Plus we have navy and marine bases up there including Camp Pendleton.  And that you can actually get a CCW in certain counties... but some of their other laws... totally off the charts man...The bullet button for example. Now this $50 fee when you want to buy ammo?

Is mail order still allowed in CA?

Lol@ people who still live in california. They have to put a dent in that deficit somehow right?

I thought it was $50 a year

wouldn't laugh to hard. It's only a matter of time for the PRNJ

True^. I dont think Christie will let anything too draconian get through...he wants a shot at pres.

That's really what I'm hoping for. If he does it he loses most if not all of the republican vote.

i'd hope/imagine there'll be lawsuits against this. or it'll get overturned in a court somewhere.........this really can't be legal.

absolutely should go before the courts as it's unfair, restrictive, and puts a burden on poor persons

Is mail order still allowed in CA?

According to the article I linked to, no.  Face to face transaction required.  That wording sounds like it eliminates internet purchasing to me.  I dont know how many online retailers will stop shipping to Cali because of that.

 

Ken

so now we see what's comin' our way if/when they ban interweb sales here. that'll be the next step. and the unintended consequence? they'll not stop any of us getting ammo, as most of us can easily cross a bridge into the free world to buy our ammo.....but the ffl's will suffer.

So can you buy FTF out of state?
