This is big bullshit because as a gun owner, now i have to go buy the ammunition at two or three times the cost of going to the internet. And now law abiding citizens are being treated like criminals by requiring a registration in the system in order to just buy bullets. baby back bullshit.   | ||

No one's treating you like a criminal. Don't you think this is a fair compromise that will have its benefits in prevention that will ultimately save some lives? fwiw i have no real stance on gun control and isn't something I think/talk about often, but from what I've read this seems like a really good compromise. | ||

In my opinion, there will always be a way for the common criminal to get his/her bullets, whether it be straw purchase or theft. There shouldn't be consequences for people who have a clean record for somebody who has a shitty one. | ||

If you're not hunting with the gun, and you actually want it for self-defence, it's even more dangerous. It takes a situation where someone has a gun and they rob you, and turns it into a gunfight where someone gets murdered. Honestly I'd rather get robbed than have to defend myself in court against murder if I even won the gunfight (which is unlikely since the villain has the element of surprise on his side, and if he see's you with a gun he'll just shoot first). But then I live in a safe neighborhood, so it's pretty unlikely anyone is even going to have a gun to rob me with. | ||

I don't really keep up with gun control legislation or anything, but if the choices were either to have it stay the same, introduce this, or something more drastic (i.e. banning guns or w/e it may be), I do think this kind of fair for you. If you hunt often, it makes your hobby more expensive I suppose, but somewhere down the line x amount of lives are potentially being saved is what I imagine the argument to be. I've been a professional poker player for some time now and in 2006 there was a law regulating gambling transactions within the US that basically hurt the poker economy by making it harder to deposit/withdraw, some sites pulled out of operation within the US, etc. etc. As a player, it meant that making money was harder and incited the myth that online gambling was illegal and as such I was engaging in illegal/criminal activities by playing poker from home, lol. However life goes on and it makes shit more difficult but at the same time I'm glad that the gov't didn't fuck up completely and outright ban online gambling, such that I'd have no job whatsoever. | ||

However, California probably has ridiculous gang/crime problems and this really does seem like a promising method of reducing illegal shit. Think of it this way, you are paying more for your ammo and in return a couple lives might be saved. Its a stretch but one must see the best in a shitt situation. One group ruining it for the rest is usually how things work in this world, it seems. | ||
