In California, Proposition 63, the ban on gun magazines, requiring licenses to purchase ammunition, requiring reporting any change in gun ownership, has passed by an enormous margin, 63% to 37%. The measure had millions spent to get it passed. The gun haters outspent Second Amendment supporters over five to one. From ballotpedia.org:
Yes on Prop 63 outraised opponents five to one. As of November 3, 2016, supporters received $4.54 million, while opposing committees raised $868,265. The California Democratic Party, a supporter of Proposition 63, had contributed over $1 million to the campaign. The National Rifle Association was against the initiative and contributed $95,000 to opponents. Polls indicated that around 68 percent of residents supported Proposition 63 prior to the election.
Here are a few of the major provisions of the proposition. From Ballotpedia.org:

Can’t a federal judge simply strike it down, like they’ve done for numerous other propositions?
Do like Rats do after the people vote for something they hate, get it to a friendly judge and get it struck down immediately before it has a chance to get implemented.
This will be swept away.
I so don’t miss California!
Not many hunters “sell less than 50 rounds” before going hunting...
Get the good people out of cali short term, nuke it with clean nukes and let the good come back.
Filth and vermin have made cali uninhabitable.
The Trump DoJ should challenge it.
by who???
Welcome to the Hotel California.
Are they opening up counselling centers for,those that lost?
Are they going to say we have torespect the protestors?
Are they going to support those that will be sanctuary ammo and banned magazine suppliers?
Are they going to be okay with those that say they will ignore the law and that these are not their laws?
Federal/Supreme court. (Now that Trump will be appointing the Judges.) You can't put conditions on a right guaranteed by the US Constitution.
Lots of Wal Marts in Nevada and Arizona.
Cali-idiots!
That’s gonna make secession difficult.
I can’t wait for the Supreme Court to mandate free busing for Gun Owners, taking them from their place of residence to the nearest Sporting Goods store or Firearms Dealer so thet these poor oppressed minorities may have their Constitutional Rights restored.
Perhaps even reparations in the form of Subsidized Ammo?
May I just ignore this like LA ignores immigration law?
I’m going to take all my money and open up a ammunition store on the California/Nevada border.
Did California pass a homosexual marriage act that didn’t allow them to get married also and it was over turned by the mighty supreme court, all knowing and all seeing supreme court lead by his highly exalted Kennedy, probably do the same thing here especially unlike the other the second amendment is easy reading even for the uneducated like me.
