Possession of ammunition and components a criminal offense and arbitrary application of the law. Sounds like Mexico.
Absolutely. A lot of people knock California (where I live) for being insanely anti-gun, but this proves there are far worse places - DC and NYC being a couple of examples. My daughters used to wear inoperable cartridge rounds on necklace chains, in SF without any problem. I found shotgun shells in the crawl-space under my home after buying it from a cop, in DC I would be arrested while being innocent. I don't understand how ammunition is equated as equal to a firearm. Sh*t for brains running DC, but we all know that.
