New California gun laws recently took effect via the 2016 ballot measure Proposition 63, which was passed by 63% of voters at the time. The law, which took effect on July 1, mandates that all individuals making firearm ammunition purchases go through a state background check.

Supporters of the new law hope it will protect the public by preventing ammo from getting into the hands of criminals.
