An online poll is running in the San Diego Union Tribune in California. It is currently at 39% for and 60% against. This poll is a little different in that it is about ammunition instead of firearms. It is a clear Second Amendment issue, so it will be interesting to see how it goes.
Online polls measure intensity. They are not scientific in sampling. They measure how many people feel strongly enough to answer an internet poll about a particular issue. They measure intensity pretty well. It is common to see Second Amendment supporters outnumber disarmists on these polls by about 3-7 to 1. If the issue is clearly worded, the numbers can go much higher. I have seen clearly worded polls go as high as 20-1 for Second Amendment supporters.
This poll is not too bad, but it does not explain what the laws in question would actually do. There is no explanation that a fee can be charged for the background check, that the laws involved are enormously wordy and complicated; that they have numerous exceptions; that the chances of them doing anything about crime is minuscule. Here are the much simplified basics of the bill that passed the legislature. It only goes into effect of the referendum fails to pass.
1. All ammunition sales to individuals are required to be face to face and shall require a background check. A long list of occupational exceptions, exceptions for concealed carry permit holders, law enforcement, etc. will not be required to process the background check, but sales will be recorded. Vendors may charge a fee of up to $10 per background check.

35-64. If you pass the gun background check it is redundant.
I lost my best friend early Friday morning. He was much sicker than we knew. We had to put him to sleep.

I always do background checks on ammo. Cheaper than dirt are pretty good.
All this will do is make criminals more likely to steal ammo. Stupid CA
