Seems California's background checks for ammunition are working as planned. thousands of legal sales have been successfully blocked. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/gun-g ... ion-sales/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
“Working as intended.”
That’s how an attorney with the Gifford’s Law Center described Proposition 63, California’s cockamamie ammunition background check system which, in less than six months, has denied over 60,000 Californians their right to purchase ammunition.
That equates to approximately 20% of all ammunition sales being rejected by the California Department of Justice. So, of course, those 60,000 denials must have been violent felons who were forbidden from owning firearms altogether, right?
Wrong.
More than 99% of the denials were false-positives.
Good example showing why we don't want a scheme like this nationwide.
