“This legislation would mandate that an ammunition buyer proves to an ammunition seller that they own a registered firearm in the caliber they are seeking to purchase each and every time they buy ammunition. A firearm owner would have to show their firearms registration along with another form of government-issued photographic ID in order to complete the purchase.”

FAST FACTS

• DOJ had approved 6,213 individuals to register 12,519 firearms as of June 30, 2018
• DOJ processed 2,723 applications for firearm registration between Aug. 3, 2017, and Jan. 4, 2018
• DOJ processed 12,168 applications for firearm registration between Jan. 5, 2018, and June 30, 2018
• DOJ still had 52,443 applications for firearm registration pending as of June 30
• Based on the rate of their application processing between January and May 2018, it would take DOJ 2.15 more years to finish processing the remaining “assault weapon” applications
• The “assault weapon” registration system was originally estimated to cost DOJ $55,770 – 429 man-hours at $130.00 per hour – but over $113,370 was spent on programming alone to add DOJ’s BBAW system into its CFARS system
• $119,970 in fees had been collected from gun owners through May 30, 2018
• DOJ received funding to hire 24 analysts and two managers to process “bullet-button assault weapon” registration applications – “limited term positions that will cease to exist one year after these employees’ start dates.”

“This is a significant win for law-abiding gun owners in California,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director, National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action. “This unconstitutional law criminalizes mere possession of many standard capacity magazines and would instantly turn many law-abiding gun owners into criminals.”

California Rifle and Pistol Association lawyers, with the support of the NRA, sought an injunction against the magazine possession ban, arguing the law violated the Second Amendment as well as Americans’ due process rights. A federal district court judge agreed and issued a preliminary injunction before the law was set to go into effect. California appealed the decision.

On Tuesday, the 9th Circuit upheld the injunction.

Meanwhile, in the trial court, a motion for summary judgment is pending and a ruling on the merits of the case is expected soon. Regardless of the outcome, the case will most certainly be appealed again to the 9th Circuit. By that time, the Supreme Court will likely have a new justice who respects the right to keep and bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment.

“Tuesday’s ruling was a step in the right direction. The National Rifle Association will continue to fight for the rights of Californians to protect themselves,” Cox concluded.

The Democratic governor said he would sign the bills, establishing some of the “toughest gun laws in the nation.”

The Democratic-led Senate approved the bills that began advancing after a fatal high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, that left 17 people dead in February.

“This is our response to our national crisis,” said Democratic state Sen. Richard Codey, who served as governor from 2004 to 2006. “We need national legislation.”

Murphy wrote on Twitter Thursday night that he would sign the bills on Wednesday. He campaigned on a promise for more “sensible” gun control laws.
