    Does SB53 limit private ammo sales?

    Sounds like it from the following


    "The bill would provide that commencing July 1, 2015, only a licensed ammunition vendor may sell ammunition."

    As last amended, yes it does. (see parts in bold)

    SEC. 6. Section 30312 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
    30312.
    (a)(1) The delivery or transfer of ownership of ammunition may only occur in a face-to-face transaction with the deliverer or transferor being provided bona fide evidence of identity from the purchaser or other transferee; provided, however, that ammunition may be purchased over the Internet or through other means of remote ordering if an ammunition vendor in this state initially receives the ammunition and processes the transfer in compliance with this section and Article 3 (commencing with Section 30345), and, commencing July 1, 2015, in accordance with regulations promulgated by the Department of Justice pursuant to Section 30400.
    (2) Commencing July 1, 2015, the sale of ammunition may only be conducted by an ammunition vendor licensed pursuant to Section 30385.
    (3) For purposes of this section, “ammunition” does not include blanks.
    (b) Subdivision (a) shall not apply to or affect the sale, delivery, or transfer of ammunition to any of the following:
    (1) An authorized law enforcement representative of a city, county, city and county, or state or federal government, if the sale, delivery, or transfer is for exclusive use by that government agency and, prior to the sale, delivery, or transfer of the ammunition, written authorization from the head of the agency employing the purchaser or transferee is obtained, identifying the employee as an individual authorized to conduct the transaction, and authorizing the transaction for the exclusive use of the agency employing the individual.
    (2) A sworn peace officer, as defined in Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 830) of Title 3 of Part 2 who is authorized to carry a firearm in the course and scope of the officer’s duties.
    (3) An importer or manufacturer of ammunition or firearms who is licensed to engage in business pursuant to Chapter 44 (commencing with Section 921) of Title 18 of the United States Code and the regulations issued pursuant thereto.
    (4) A person who is on the centralized list maintained by the Department of Justice pursuant to Article 6 (commencing with Section 28450) of Chapter 6 of Division 6 of this title.
    (5) A person whose licensed premises are outside this state and who is licensed as a dealer or collector of firearms pursuant to Chapter 44 (commencing with Section 921) of Title 18 of the United States Code and the regulations issued pursuant thereto.
    (6) A person who is licensed as a collector of firearms pursuant to Chapter 44 (commencing with Section 921) of Title 18 of the United States Code and the regulations issued pursuant thereto, whose licensed premises are within this state, and who has a current certificate of eligibility issued by the Department of Justice pursuant to Section 26710.
    (7) An ammunition vendor.
    (8) A consultant-evaluator.
    (9) A participant at an event organized by a nonprofit mutual or public benefit corporation, where the sale, transfer, or delivery is by a nonprofit mutual or public benefit corporation organized pursuant to the Corporations Code, where the ammunition is to be used and consumed on the premises of an event conducted by that nonprofit or public benefit corporation, and the event is at a target range which holds a regulatory or business license.
    (c) A violation of this section is a misdemeanor.

      This is going to be a joke. I can see it now. "I'll give you 20$ for that cardboard box, if the ammo is free."

          I wonder if the OP knows that crystal meth is illegal, but yet, people seem to be able to purchase crystal meth at will.
