SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday blocked a California law requiring background checks for people buying ammunition, issuing a sharply worded rebuke of “onerous and convoluted” regulations that violate the constitutional right to bear arms.

U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez in San Diego ruled in favor of the California Rifle & Pistol Association, which asked him to stop the checks and related restrictions on ammo sales.

“The experiment has been tried. The casualties have been counted. California’s new ammunition background check law misfires and the Second Amendment rights of California citizens have been gravely injured,” Benitez wrote in a 120-page opinion granting the group’s motion for a preliminary injunction.

Voters approved toughening California’s already strict firearms laws in 2016, and the restrictions took effect last July.

"Voters approved toughening California’s already strict firearms laws in 2016, and the restrictions took effect last July." Meaning the lefties used the dead, the illegals, and the fake votes to get it passed.

No, meaning that just because it’s popular and supported by a bunch of brain dead sheeple doesn’t make it lawful or right

He just denied the states stay request.

But the 9th granted the request, so we're stuck with this for another 1-2 years at least. Never ever get excited over a District Court opinion.
