The State of California, in demonstrating how dumb liberals think, is considering enacting a law that requires background checks to purchase ammunition. It would require owners to turn in "large-capacity" magazines -- those holding 11 rounds or more -- and report when their weapons are stolen. Perhaps the most controversial provision would handle ammo sales like gun sales by requiring "point-of-sale background checks" for ammunition purchases; dealers also would need a license similar to those required to sell firearms.
That idea is beyond dumb.
What would-be criminal is going to turn in large-capacity magazines? What in the world makes you think that a loon or any other potential criminal shooter is going to be dissuaded by a background check for ammo? Furthermore, if background checks for guns can't keep guns out of the hands of mentally unstable persons, how are similar laws going to stop the acquisition of ammo? In the first place, most gun owners have significant amounts of ammo already in their gun closet. And, if a gun owner reports that a weapon has been stolen, what cop is going to drop everything and start a full-scale search for the stolen gun?
This is just another way to inconvenience legal gun owners; it does absolutely nothing to stop gun crimes. Nevertheless, the proposal is being pushed by Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, who plans to run for Governor in 2018. Newsom whines that we have to have the ability to protect our families.
Well, dumbass Newsom, when the criminal breaks into YOUR house, you call the cops and wait for them to stop searching for stolen guns and answer your call for help. As for me, I'll reach for my Glock and resolve the issue more promptly and, certainly, more safely.
Perhaps the real answer here is to require that all politicians pass an I.Q. test.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
