Federal court strikes down California ammo background checks, sparking gun safety debate
Gun control efforts in California were dealt a setback as the 9th Circuit Court invalidated a law mandating background checks for ammunition purchases. This decision was met with mixed reactions; supporters argue it undermines gun safety, while opponents claim it aligns with reasonable gun laws. The 2016 Proposition 63, passed after the 2015 San Bernardino mass shooting, was intended to enhance gun safety following significant firearm thefts, as emphasized by Stanford Law Professor John Donohue. Meanwhile, gun owner Bradley Stolfi articulated the need for thorough background checks akin to getting a driver’s license but recognized that once passed, repeat checks are unnecessary. Donohue cautioned that this ruling could empower gun lobbyists to challenge existing laws further.
