By Chris Dorr – August 4, 2025 BOOM! The 9th Circuit just delivered a massive beatdown to blue states like California and New York that are forcing gun owners to go through background checks to buy ammunition. The case is Rhode v. Bonta, and in it, the court ruled that California’s ammo background check law is unconstitutional! This is a landmark ruling for gun owners, especially in deep blue states where tyrants like Gavin Newsom are doing everything they can to make it impossible to exercise your rights. The American Firearms Association filed what many are calling the nastiest, most unapologetic amicus brief in the entire case! AFA didn’t hold back. We laid out the history, the constitutional framework, and the brutal truth about what this law really was — an illegal backdoor gun registry wrapped in “public safety” lies. Now the tide is turning. But it’s not over. Watch our full analysis of Rhode v. Bonta here — and get the details on: How this ruling destroys ammo background checks in CA Why this case could set off a legal domino effect nationwide What Gavin Newsom’s options are now Why this case matters in every single state Chris Dorr is President of American Firearms Association
