California may soon regulate ammunition like guns.
Gavin Newsom, California's Democrat lieutenant governor and governor wannabe, is riding a wave of Second Amendment crackdowns on his campaign trail, including a policy push to regulate ammunition purchases as tightly as firearms' buys.
"It seems to me the most dangerous part of the weapon is not the weapon, but the ammunition," Newsom said, Breibart reported.

As such, Newsom said if he's elected governor, he would make anyone trying to buy ammunition have to go through the same background check process now required of potential gun purchasers.

During delivery of remarks at the Graton casino, Newsom compared buying ammunition to buying cold medicine, and recounted how he was denied the ability to purchase Sudafed once because he didn't have a driver's license with him to show the pharmacist.

It's not logical to require identification for cold medicine, but not ammunition, he said, the Press Democrat reported.
Newsom also vowed as governor to add on more reporting requirements for licensed firearms dealers, and to mandate a license for those who wish to sell ammunition.
