Law Appeals Court Blocks California’s Background Checks for Ammunition Buyers - (7-24-2025)

[OlderThanDirt]

And with respect, are you now stating that DOJ has kicked in your door at 2 a.m. and stuck a gun in your face to cite an infraction? (Following Bruen, an historical analogy may be substituted…but no hypotheticals).

Best.

I once got a stern warning along with an infraction. Does that count?

I've just used the "ignore" feature for the first time...

I’d rather not divulge any of my personal experience with any agency, be it CADOJ or BATF.

I can respectfully agree to disagree, and leave it at that.

In CA I will always dot my i’s and cross my t’s. Anything less can put someone in the cross hairs of a hyper vigilante official looking to put a feather in their cap, progress their career, establish a reputation, or all of the above. This is not the state to roll the dice in.

You broke your cherry, congrats! You always remember your first.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was sitting in my office chair on break, when USMC06RET went on another of his rants. I remember it was July, the birds were singing…

Is he posting in this thread?

Is he posting in this thread?

Was just having fun, making a joke. And no, apparently he is on a time out do to some remarks earlier or something. I just find it humorous.

My neighbor just got this notice from UPS. He's sort of freaking out at this point.

Wtf. A guy I talk to online who isn't even in CA ordered reloading dies and got the same notification. Coincidence?

 

[mblat1968]

Is he sure it is not some kind of scam Similar to those DMV notifications everyone gets?

 

[shroom]

Unless someone hacked UPS, no. This notice is on the package's tracking page.

 

[mblat1968]

Well. Once you know anything let us know

 

[Randomdudewithguns]

I've had a similar notice saying my package is being held pending release blah blah. Mine was always a text not email.

It's spam, nothing else.

 

[Randomdudewithguns]

And yes, the ignore feature is a wonderful thing. Simply seeing others replies to the ignored gives me the giggles

Feels like I just traveled back in time to the seventh grade girls locker room.

Well hopefully you are a female. Otherwise

Really? As if when you were in 7th grade you didn't want to stroll through the girls locker room...... I just wouldn't have want to listen to them.

I just used it too, probably for the same thing. For me it’s the second time, so I speak from experience . . . your life is about to get a whole lot better. Get ready to say hello to peace and quiet, and a lot less FUD.

Honest question: Is it possible for us to keep this thread focused on a factual discussion of the issue of ammunition control in California?

This battle may have been won, but the war will continue.

Personally, I never block anyone. To me it means that the person blocked wins in my opinion. No matter how ridiculous, or even verbally violent they become I’m not even phased by another persons words or opinions that I don’t agree with. Some, emphasis on some, just take things personally and they let their emotions get the best of them. To each their own. Certainly the block feature may be a good tool for people who feel they need it.

I find peoples personal experience and opinions relevant to the discussion, even the opinions I may not agree with. Who exactly gets to be the arbitrator of everything fact exactly? What is the point of a discussion if one persons facts are the only ones deemed relevant?

The arbiter of facts is the scientific method. At least, it's the best method for testing truth-claims.

Unfortunately interpreting and enforcing the law is anything but a perfect science. It is not physics, biology, chemistry or the like.
