It’s so much worse in California… since there’s now a background check for buying ammo, if you buy ammo for a caliber/gun not on file (ie. You are going shooting with a friend and buy ammo to shoot in his gun) you are flagged in the system…currently nothing happens but the theory is that one day they could raid your house thinking you have illegal guns
Oh and California works with local gun (cabelas/Sportsmans warehouse) stores in Reno NV to notify CA law enforcement of California residents buying ammo who are likely taking it home.
This was all told to me by a county DA’s office investigator I know. I work in social services and he is our fraud investigator.

Same thing's been going on for years concerning Illinois and surrounding state ammo sales.
Been behind IL shoppers in line at Gander Mtn & Academy and the cashier always checks for IL drivers license.
