In the wake of the 2015 San Bernardino shooting in California, lawmakers decided that something had to be done about gun violence in their home state.
Little did they know their new laws would be a lot more challenging to enforce than to pass.
These new regulations included background checks for purchasing ammunition and a ban on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
According to The Washington Free Beacon's Stephen Gutowski, California is desperately struggling to implement the gun control laws it forced on the residents of the state:
The first trouble came when the California Department of Justice (DOJ) attempted to draft their plan to register all of the rifles in California which have “bullet button” reloading devices and other rifles that would fall under the state's expanded assault weapons ban.
On June 26, the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) determined that the DOJ had improperly sought to avoid the public comment period on the plan. That caused the deadline for registration to be pushed back six months.
Then, U.S. District Judge Roger T. Benitez issued a preliminary injunction blocking the enforcement of the state's gun magazine confiscation plan, saying in his ruling:
“The regulation is neither presumptively legal nor longstanding. The statute hits close to the core of the Second Amendment and is more than a slight burden.
