You say the Truth About Guns is biased information, but what is YOUR SOURCE telling you that? I note you have not backed up any of your bullshit accusation with an actual citation.The Truth About Guns is not a reliable source – it’s biased rightwing media with a propensity for lying and spreading misinformation, such as the lie that problems with the background check system are ‘intentional,’ a notion that is completely baseless.Yes...now in California you have to go through a background check every time you buy ammo. This is the latest red tape anti-gunners have created to keep normal people from using their legal guns. The democrats love their Poll Taxes and Literacy tests for Rights, and this is the latest one....... the system can't handle the background checks, so people can't buy ammo...... this was intentional, and this is why we can't trust anti-gunners.....
They hate guns, and they will do everything in their power to indulge their mental illness....
California Ammunition Background Check System Failures - Bugs or Features? - The Truth About Guns
And…surprise! The ammo background check process so far is impossibly buggy and glitch-ridden. Retailers are turning away customers because they can’t log in or navigate the kludgy system.

“I’ve had one customer, and I had to turn them away because I couldn’t get into the system,” Don Reed, owner of DGS Ammo & Airguns in Sacramento, said at midmorning. “He seemed a little bit perturbed. … There’s a lot of people feel like they’re being held hostage suddenly — punishing the people who’ve been doing it the right way.”
He was reading through dozens of pages online as he tried to log in, but he groused that “it would take a Philadelphia lawyer to figure it out.”
Officials with the state Department of Justice, which administers the program, did not respond to repeated telephone and email requests for comment. The department said in a news release that it had sent vendors regulations and instructions on how to comply.
“The eligibility checks ensure purchasers are not prohibited from owning or possessing ammunition due to a felony and/or violent misdemeanor conviction or warrant, domestic violence restraining order, or mental health issue,” the department said.
The state system is supposed to crosscheck one database of people who already cleared background checks when they bought guns in California with a second database of those who bought guns legally but are no longer allowed to own them. The process should take about two minutes, the department said Monday.
Customers pay $1 for the check. Those who pass get their ammo after clerks record the brand, type and amount of ammunition.
“So far it doesn’t work at all. My system doesn’t let me access it,” said Steve Converse, a longtime clerk at Ade’s Gun Shop in Orange, 30 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
