Reports are CA Ammo Ban Ruled Unconstitutional in Court!!!

COURT GRANTS NRA / CRPA FOUNDATION MOTION, INVALIDATES UNCONSTITUTIONAL AMMUNITION REGULATION STATUTE THAT WOULD HAVE BANNED MAIL ORDER AMMO SALES & REQUIRED AMMO SALES REGISTRATION

In a dramatic ruling giving gun owners a win in an National Rifle Association / California Rifle and Pistol (CRPA) Foundation lawsuit, this morning Fresno Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Hamilton ruled that AB 962, the hotly contested statute that would have banned mail order ammunition sales and required all purchases of so called “handgun ammunition” to be registered, was unconstitutionally vague on its face. The Court enjoined enforcement of the statute, so mail order ammunition sales to California can continue unabated, and ammunition sales need not be registered under the law....

Hopefully this is true.

UPDATE: CalGunLaws is reporting it as factual.

Shooters in California are breathing a big sigh of relief today. No doubt some moron in Sacramento will bring up similar legislation in the future.

Note, however, that it was unconstitutional because it was a "vague" law rather than a conflict with the second amendment.

Would it be un-"civil" of me to tell the anti-rights nuts to 'suck it'? :)

Markie Marxist sez: "No problem. We'll just pass a new law that applies to all ammunition. We commies own California. It's ours."
