These State Laws Don’t Care What The Federal Government Decides

California Cracks Down On Buying Ammunition Online

While there are no federal restrictions on purchasing bullets online, voters in California feel the need to crack down on ammunition sales. The six million gun owners in the state will no longer be able to purchase ammunition online and have them shipped directly to their homes. Instead, the new law requires the bullets to be shipped to a licensed dealer that has been approved by the Department of Justice, and the purchaser must then go and pick them up from there. The purpose of the law isn’t to prevent law-abiding gun owners from getting ammunition, but rather to stop criminals and those not meant to have it.
