Article from Reason by Brian Doherty.
One sticking point involves the law’s demand that a citizen present identification in order to go through the background check. The plaintiffs in the case, known as Rhode v. Becerra, complain that the state is enforcing more stringent requirements in this context than it uses for most other legal purposes, enforcing federal “real ID” requirements that go beyond what most Californians currently possess:
Under [the state’s] regulation, a California driver license or identification card with the notation “FEDERAL LIMITS APPLY” is sufficient for virtually all other purposes, yet not to acquire ammunition….While this form of ID is issued by the State itself, as proof of both identity and residence, individuals possessing this state-issued ID must nonetheless present additional documentation (such as a valid U.S. passport or certified copy of a U.S. birth certificate) to purchase ammunitiion…Should this additional proof not match precisely the name appearing on the California ID, additional documentation must be provided explaining the reason for the name change.
The plaintiffs consider it absurd that the state says
the identification that California issues as a default and thus implicitly deems sufficient for all other purposes is insufficient for purchasing ammunition—a constitutional right!…Making matters worse, the State does not even have the excuse here that federal law compels its extra identification requirement because the federal government accepts FLA [“federal limits apply,”meaning it is not federal REAL ID compliant] IDs as sufficient for its own purposes—including to pass background checks to purchase a firearm. There is simply no plausible basis on which a state can claim that an ID issued by the state itself, and accepted as sufficient by the federal government, is nonetheless insufficient even to allow an individual to undergo a background check to determine whether he may exercise his Second Amendment rights.

Guns,and Ammo are not the Problem..Carter,and Slick Willie closed all the loonie bins ,and nut houses…Turned all the Nuts loose.Saying they needed a boost in their self esteem..lock up these NUTS 95% of the problem will be solved…
Amen to that-that’s the real problem.
Why isn’t it as hard to get voter registration?
If the CA government insisted that everyone has these extra IDs, should it be for voting as well? To much voting fraud.
Year’s ago we has to show our I’D to buy a gun. Non Citizens would buy a gun and give it to a non-citizen in the store.
CA government has stopped funds for Law Enforcement on campus.
Places that sells guns and ammo should follow the back ground check and if not qualified, call FBI.
I have watched some of the games and they are not for kids or people with mentally unstable. I was to raised with guns. My parents taught us shooting and safety. When you live on a ranch you never know what you will FIND. I feel sorry for the people who own ranches at Borders, dealing with Illegals and Drug Cartels and criminals.

Totally agree !!!
But the marxists( so called progressives / democrats) don’t want to have an open, honest conversation about mental health and the consequences of not dealing with it, because their main goal/ agenda is to basically either confiscate the guns in America or make it impossible for the law abiding citizens to even apply to get a gun ( they are trying to trick us into accepting the fact that owning a gun must be the same as owning a car , so we must be forced to have an “insurance” in order to be allowed to have a gun) … something that must be extremely unaffordable ( like
$ 1000 a month) … how many people could afford that ???
Well, that’s their way of forcing us to “ give up” our second amendment rights !!!!

When criminals with illegal weapons come to my house to rob or harm me,
how am I supposed to defend myself without Ammo?
