A panel of three judges for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found California's restrictive ammunition laws to be in violation of the Second Amendment.
...complete an ammunition eligibility check or to verify that an individual's Certificate of Eligibility is valid when the individual purchases or transfers ammunition from or through an ammunition vendor.
$1.00 per purchase, which recently went up to $5.00 (and who knows what it would have cost in the years to come). Basic checks for those not in the system as gun owners cost $19 for every purchase.
"...the Supreme Court has indicated that the Second Amendment protects 'operable' arms?. Because arms are inoperable without ammunition, the right to keep and bear arms necessarily encompasses the right to have ammunition."
"Laws that impose 'conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms' are presumptively unconstitutional if they 'meaningfully constrain' the right to keep and bear arms," she added. "Given the fees and delays associated with California's ammunition background check regime, and the wide range of transactions to which it applies, we conclude that, in all applications, the regime meaningfully constrains California residents' right to keep and bear arms."
I really like that final sentence- "...fees and delays...". That may preclude passing an ammo waiting period.
