Newsom Seethes After 9th Circuit Nixes Calif. Ammo Law

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is fuming after a federal court ruled his state’s law requiring gun owners to undergo background checks to buy ammunition is unconstitutional.

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 on Thursday to uphold a lower court’s preliminary injunction against enforcing the law.

Voters in 2016 approved a ballot measure requiring gun owners to undergo initial background checks to buy ammunition and pay $50 for a four-year ammunition permit.
