but it's at least a slap in their face.
A federal judge on Thursday blocked a California law requiring background checks for people buying ammunition, issuing a sharply worded rebuke of “onerous and convoluted” regulations that violate the constitutional right to bear arms.
U.S. District Judge Roger
Benitez in San Diego ruled in favor of the California Rifle & Pistol
Association, which asked him to stop the checks and related
restrictions on ammo sales.
From what I've been hearing this thing has been a nightmare of errors. Which was probably intended by the asshats who wrote it.

It's a preliminary injunction, which (as I understand it) will require a writ of mandamus to appeal before the trial is complete. My gut is that the appeals court will deny the mandamus, particularly since no other state in the union has anything nearing these requirements to sell ammunition, and CA is therefore the outlier. That means that the likelihood of substantial harm from the injunction is quite low.
They are also likely to deny it for the reason that the likelihood of CA prevailing on appeal is very low. After all, part of the standard for a PI is that the movant has a high likelihood of prevailing on the merits in a final decision.
