The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals gave Second Amendment advocates a huge win on Thursday by upholding a lower court decision that held California's background check requirement on sales of ammunition (and prohibiting residents from ordering ammunition online or bringing ammunition purchased out-of-state back into California) was unconstitutional.
In a 2-1 decision, the three judge panel concluded that the law is facially unconstitutional, meaning there's no circumstance where it can be lawfully applied. As such, the panel endorsed the permanent injunction first delivered by U.S. District Court Judge Roger T. Benitez in Rhode v. Bonta early last year.
Congratulations to Kim Rhode and the other named plaintiffs, as well as the California Rifle & Pistol Association, whose attorneys did an outstanding job in this case. This is a huge win for gun owners; not just in California, but in any other blue state where Democrats might be thinking about imposing similar restrictions on ammo sales.
