Perspective is everything. One could also say the other states are insane. You can buy bullets without a background check, but you can't buy a joint legally.

I could only watch about half the video, my head was about to explode. Only a government agency can survive being that inept.

The background check doesn't go into effect until July, 2019. As of this year we can't purchase ammo over the internet. Well we can but it must be shipped to an in state licensed ammo dealer or FFL so the 'final' transaction is done in person. I'm still waiting on the legislation that'll turn our agriculture checkpoints into ammo checkpoints too! :Wow1:

I can see it now: Question - Do you have any ammunition in your car? Answer - No, just a ton of weed. Reply - Have a nice day, sir. Next car. Officer - I see a 22 RF round on the floor board! Out of your car with your hands up! Up against the car! You are under arrest for bring ammunition into California!

Weed transport gets stopped all the time. Only the legit types are given a pass. Its not a big deal if your legit. Its another story if your not. Oddly all the gun owners I know in CA dont really care given it doesn’t impact them. But they are concerned it could lead to more thefts and strong armed robbery of gun stores by people who seek ammo and cant really get it without being on the radar.

Regardless of how stupid their laws may be I'm fairly certain that a lot of people CHOOSE to live in CA, so as a result you choose to live with whatever laws appointed over you. If you do not like it you can vote for a change or choose to move elsewhere, sounds logical to me anyway.

I've lived in Los Angeles off and on for 50 years. That whole time it has always been pretty much impossible to get a CCW in L.A. County unless you are a cop.
That dork in the video should have bypassed the Torrance PD and gone straight to the Sherriff's Dept. At least they would have told "No, now piss off", in less than 18 months.

"A thorn in their side" ??? I am pro law enforcement, but they are there to serve us.

Ownership of one of those items is a legally-protected right as per the federal constitution; ownership of the other item is not. NICS checks don't usually take that long, but it's still pretty silly that California will require background checks for every time someone wants to buy a few rounds but does nothing check on people who rent planes or heavy-duty trucks.

Renting a plane isnt easy. I’ve done it a few times. Regardless they just steal them why bother renting?Ownership of one of those items is a legally-protected right as per the federal constitution; ownership of the other item is not.

Gotta remember that we are discussing california, the crackhead state of stupidity! as long as it makes the populace "feel good" or "feel safe" then the constitution means nothing to these nut cases, perfect reason to avoid the place at all costs! an imaginary line is all that stands between being a law abiding citizen of a somewhat normal state and being a felon in that wackadoo republic!!
