Buy your ammo now before July 1 hits

[Vangster]

Well, California is at it again, if you can’t ban guns, make ammo super expensive. That will indirectly result in no guns for the good guys.

The Rhode case should drop soon. I would suspect they will kill the whole ammo import scheme ..

It's only $4 more, I've seen people pay $30 a day for two packs of smokes at the gas station...same people flying gun stickers and same people complaining about an extra $4. Either way, if you only buy a box every month or two or you buy 100 boxes every couple weeks...it really isn't going to be so expensive that true gun enthusiasts won't be able to keep guns. Even if that was the case...sell some guns, get a caliber that one can afford ammo for. There are so many budget firearms available everywhere now that not being able to afford ammo because of an xtra $4 should not be an excuse except for lazy people who don't want to work for money. I believe most stores realize that impact of these fee increases and have tried to offset them by offering discounts, sales, specials on ammo. Yeah it sucks that everything is going up, either we stop what we are doing and quit crying about it or we do it better and go for what we need/want/deserve. I will just take a $1 a day Mon-Fri and on Fri I have my $5 for my ammo purchase. Those $5 I would have lost in a soda that went flat, a half eaten burger I threw away, some coins that fell out of my pocket that I didn't care or remember to pick up, paying $.10 at the market for plastic bags I truly don't need etc. The thing is that no one is obligated or forcing anyone else to own/keep guns, it's a personal choice...if it's not financially viable any further then those people research alternative options in employment or weapons.

Wow, CA gun owners are sure easy to burn. The rest of your post is absolutely pathetic. "...hey, no problem with the new taxes and fees"

You sound like past members who used to scold others for complaining about the handgun roster- "hey! stop griping, there are tons of guns we can buy..."

Or those who stated that 10 rounds in a mag was plenty enough.

Amazing to read this sh*t.

I don't know how many times it's been said: Get your C&R and COE.

This guy lol, my boss has a $250,000 annual property tax and he is crying over $4. So, how long you gonna cry about $4 or any other thing in life that is just a part of growing up? Guns are not for everybody...just don't own guns if you can't handle the responsibility or cost of them...so simple... What's chit is people who think they are owed something all the time, champagne tastes on beer budgets. I feel sorry for all the women married/dating whiners and complainers...it really is only $4 more per attempt...buy in bulk. If the fee is causing you that much of an issue then you truly are in the wrong game. Bet that if you owned a business and could make an xtra $4 per sale you would not complain. Everybody has options, it's on you to make the best choice. For me family comes first, then my job...guns are toys (not necessities) and I can accept and live with what Ca gives me or I can reject it and move on. Yes, there are literally tons of guns available already and yes...10 rounds is enough if you know how to use your weapon hint, hint.

Quoted for prosperity. Wow.

YOU are the problem CA gun owner, the ones that make other CA gun owners look bad in the rest of the country.

It has NOTHING to do whether someone can afford the CA costs, or whether one makes six figures or five. And you might be stupid enough to actually think a business is making an "xtra $4 per sale".

It is about GOVERNMENT HOSTILITY TOWARDS GUN OWNERS. And it is very obviious you're not only oblivious to this, you actually approve of more gun laws and fees.

Please stay in CA and do not move to anywhere that is has more freedom-minded gun owners.

Good for you, you support tyranny. I don't care if it's one ****n penny. It's wrong.

I guess some people are perfectly fine giving the state money for doing absolutely nothing. The more you're OK with what they do the more often they will do it. First $1 soon $5 and the state does nothing but maintain a database they would anyway. Now add in 11% that is going to study more ways to restrict a Constitutional Right. Anyone who thinks that this is going to be the last increase is either naive or just stupid.

I'll just keep doing what I and many others have been doing for a few years now, (buy online shipped right to my door) and not giving the state any more than I have to. Speaking of which I have ammo to put up.

I can buy guns and ammo from military sales; so they hell with newsome "rules".

Luckily stocked up and plan on moving to Las Vegas beginning of 2026 so I only hope this gets overturned for those still standing strong here in the state.

Can't compare gun rights to cigarettes and soda. Gun ownership is a constitutionally protected right and ammo goes hand in hand with that. I know that's not what you are saying here, but the analogy is still not a good one. Gun rights are for all law abiding citizens. It doesn't matter what race, or income level. Gun rights should never be reserved for the wealthy and privileged. That's what the 2nd amendment stands for.

This has to be a troll post...but then again California is full of douchebags, especially in the coastal counties.

I give the state $22 a year for my COE.
I order ammo shipped directly to my house and I don't pay any extra tax.
It's a good investment and keeps the state out of knowing anything about my ammunition consumption habits.
