Ninth Circuit Grants Emergency Stay — California Ammunition Background Check Law Goes Back into Effect
Bad news for California gun owners. On April 23, 2020 Judge Roger Benitez of the U.S. District Court issued an injunction blocking California’s ammunition background check system. That injunction held for just one day. California’s Atty. General Xavier Becerra immediately sought an emergency stay of the injunction, and a two-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals granted that request late on Friday, April 24, 2020. So, as of today, April 25, 2020, the California ammo purchasing restrictions REMAIN IN EFFECT.
The Truth About Guns website noted: “The California judiciary giveth and the California judiciary taketh away. As we expected, the state filed an emergency motion to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, asking the Judge Roger Benitez’s injunction be lifted.
Benitez’s injunction issued in response to a motion in Rhode v. Becerra, had stopped enforcement of California’s ammunition background check law. That injunction allowed Golden Staters to once again buy ammo freely and out-of-state retailers to ship directly to California buyers.
But late last night, the Ninth Circuit quashed the injunction. That means it’s back to asking state permission to buy .22 LR rounds for plinking or JHPs for personal defense. Ammunition Freedom Week turned out to last less than two days.
As we’ve said before, this case still has a long way to go. Watch this space.”

Tyranny upheld by the ninth circuit court!
How many jailed felons were released between the days of both decisions??
the sooner Cal either falls off into the pacific or declares itself a nation apart from the rest of US , the better off we’ll all be.
Murquia,Owens,Bennett are the April motion judges. Murquia and Owens are Obama appointees. So you know there political bias against the constitution.
So why are any of us surprised that the rabid , radical , anti-gun 9th went in favor of the Dem controlled state-house in Sacramento . POTUS has done a decent job of reducing the liberal bias in the 9th , so four more years might solve the problem . At least we should be looking favorably at getting to replace RBG on the High Court .
