The California Ammo Background Check is A Gun Owner Penalty Tax

About this video

Colion criticizes California’s ammunition background check law that took effect in July 2019, arguing it creates financial barriers and registration pressure for law-abiding gun owners. He explains the law’s fee structure ($1-$19 per purchase depending on gun registry status) and describes how out-of-state visitors and California residents not in the state database face purchasing restrictions. Colion contends the law punishes responsible gun owners without reducing criminal access to ammunition, citing California’s gun homicide rates compared to Texas as evidence that strict regulations don’t correlate with improved safety.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues California’s ammo background check law effectively functions as a penalty tax on law-abiding gun owners rather than a crime prevention measure
• According to Colion, the law creates a backdoor gun registration system by making unregistered gun owners pay $19 per ammo purchase versus $1 for those in the state database
• Colion maintains that criminals who can illegally obtain firearms will have no trouble obtaining ammunition, making the law ineffective at its stated public safety goal
