    California’s law requiring background checks on every purchase of ammunition has been a gigantic clusterfark since it took effect back in 2018. Since then, tens of thousands of Californians have been denied the ability to purchase ammunition because of problems with the government’s database of gun owners, while others have had to wait through lengthy delays to simply purchase a box or two of ammunition.


    Yes, you can be saved from than gun violins stuff by your imperious leaders!

    Seems to me there needs to be more amicus briefs for Defendants.

    First, the amici States object to the district court’s conclusion that the Second Amendment constrained California’s ability to enact the ammunition regulations at issue here. As the Supreme Court has recognized, the Second Amendment allows States to address the harmful effects of gun violence through new regulations. And California’s ammunition regulations—which are similar to numerous laws across the country—are an appropriate exercise of that prerogative.

    Second, the amici States disagree with the district court’s apparent view that California’s interests in public safety and crime prevention cannot be substantiated by the types of evidence presented here. On the contrary, it is settled that States may support their interests in public safety and crime prevention with a wide range of evidence, including social science studies and legislative findings.

    Metallic cartridges have been around since the 1850's, if not before.
    Smokeless has been around almost as long.

    Creating a step-by-step guide starting at raw materials through finished ammunition would be neat.

    Every time I think that I finally have enough ammo... something comes along and tells me, "Not yet".

    yea, I know.. Wife says I have "enough ammo"!!:innocent0

    Like I never have enough ammo or guns~!!:thumbsup:

    OH, BTW. For me and many in family, There is never a compelling government interest used to deny a fundamental right. "Public Safety"?
    When I CCW without a permit to do so!
    When is strict scrutiny used?

    Strict scrutiny is often used by courts when a plaintiff sues the government for discrimination. To pass strict scrutiny, the legislature must have passed the law to further a "compelling governmental interest," and must have narrowly tailored the law to achieve that interest.
