Some time ago California passed legislation saying dealers can't sell ammo without a permit.

Now the liberals are going one step further, requiring purchasers of ammo to get a separate permit... and to undergo a background check each time they want to buy Ammo. You also can't have any magazines with more than 10 bullets capacity.

The main backer, Calif Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, claims that this will reduce gun violence and save lives. For some reason he has not commented on the fact that the last time California prohibited high-capacity magazines, the rate of gun violence did not diminish, and in some places (mostly inner cities) it rose.

These liberal fanatics continue to pursue their goal of disarming citizens who obey laws, while going easy on criminals who actually threaten, assault, injure, and kill people.

What You Need to Know About California's Big Gun Ballot Initiative

"As a six-time Olympic medalist, I know it takes hard work to achieve success. For me, it also takes over 800 rounds of ammunition daily," says Olympic shooter Kim Rhode in the second installment in a series of web ads opposing Proposition 63, a ballot initiative sponsored by California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom that would require background checks for buying ammunition and outlaw magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. It would not limit the quantity of ammunition people can buy. "If Gavin Newsom has his way, it'll make it incredibly hard to keep up my skills," says Rhode.

Those ammo regulations are just part of Prop 63, a sweeping measure that's drawing ire from gun-rights groups and praise from firearm safety advocates. Here's a look at what it would do, who's behind it, and its chances of passing.

Known as the Safety For All Initiative, Proposition 63 would implement a raft of new gun laws. It would outlaw the possession of high-capacity magazines, create a system for confiscating guns from felons who are prohibited from owning them, elevate all gun thefts to felonies, and require people and businesses to report lost or stolen guns. It also would prohibit anyone who has stolen a gun from owning one again. But what's most contentious about the measure is that it would require background checks for ammunition purchases and would require anyone who wants to buy ammo to obtain a four-year permit from the California Department of Justice.
