So, now to buy ammo in CA your choices are to either go to Walmart or Big5 and give them your drivers license and let them take a thumb print...or to order from out of state with zero records, taxes or restrictions.

This one is E A S Y.

Too bad for the retailers who are holding $$$thousands$$$ in in-stock ammo though.

Don’t think the thumb print thing is on. Of course I’m well stocked and re-load so I’m maybe not as current as I could be.

Not exactly. The bill required “face to face” transfers [purchases]. No internet or mail order allowed.

This bill would have brought about extremely onerous regulations on the sellers of ammo as well, causing many to probably just give up on selling ammo.

We already had our local shop stop selling firearms this year because of additional regulations [fed and state], this one probably would have forced them out of the ammo business as well.
