Could we get around the second amendment by requiring intensive background checks to buy amo?

You have the expressed right to bare arms, but the second amendment says nothing about ammunition.

I thought California was trying to pass such a law?

2. Yes they will make a legal argument

that such a stance would make the Second meaningless.

3. The First Amendment says nothing about ink

Do you think the government can add huge taxes to ink for newspapers and it wouldn't be an impediment?

4. Technically ammo is considered a part of arms.

Courts would treat them as the same.

5. Defacto bans are unconstitutional

next.

6. I think you could have background checks to buy ammo, but even the DU gunners will protest loudly.

Gots to have their guns and ammo, no matter how many people get killed by gunners who were law-abiding and responsible one minute, and not the next.

You could have chips in guns that make them easy to detect too.
