Additionally, background checks(not a real biggie for me actually as the CCW conceal permit paperwork is extensive) will also be now required to simply buy ammunition...so I'd better stock up on the staples...or go to Reno, Nevada gun shows to avoid the paperwork. My favorite two gunshops in town simply gave up after 25+ years as the rules are steadily getting prohibitive... THE STATE HAS NO PROBLEMS COLLECTING INCOME TAX FROM MY GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT: THEY JUST MAKE IT MORE PROBLEMATIC TO EARN IT! 'Merica!

Well I'm not a crook this morning!!! It seems a San Diego federal judge, Roger Benitez, has blocked the law set to take effect today with a Thursday preliminary injunction:...ruling the new law on 15 round mags takes away gun owners Second Amendment rights and amounts to seizing private property without compensation. "Allowing the law to take effect would have given thousands of law-abiding citizens an untenable choice: become an outlaw or disposses one's self of lawfully acquired property." Attorney General, Xavier Becerra's office is now developing new legislation to allow registration starting in 2018....I'd settle for that reasonable solution. Had the ban taken effect I'd have had to turn the ( three)items into law enforcement agencies or destroy them. The process of California gun lawmaking is despicable imho; the Office of Administrative Law has said Becerra has "gone too far trying to impose the new regulations without allowing for public comment" (which I'm currently doing...here 'Merica!)
