Sadly, California is a lost-cause. Sort of like a republican presidential candidate not even bothering to go to NY or MA. Or a Dem to KS.
Wrong...
The second amendment never mentions ammo.
The 2nd says nothing about guns, specifically, either. It says "arms".
I submit that ammunition, like guns, falls under the scope of "arms".
If I was in Nevada, I'd open an ammo store in BorderTown.
Trying to be "cute" with technicalities like this does not pass constitutional muster.
busted for loose ammo? thats insane. Im never going to NJ because im sure there is atleast a box worth of 22 HP's scattered between seats, under trim pieces, in air vents etc etc in my truck. Heck- I keep a box of 5 different calibers in my center console for those impromptu oppurtunities to bust off a box in someones back yard or in case I didnt bring enough ammo to the range.Police actually bust people in PA for fireworks (usually large quantities however). I took some fireworks to a family gathering in PA and some of my brothers were a little uncomfortable when I started to set things off. Of course, we were in a state park.
First I heard of Jersey cops busting PA residents for fireworks purchased in their state where they are legal. But then, you can get busted for loose ammunition in your car in NJ so nothing would surprise me.
Will someone explain to me how micro-stamping works exactly? From what I have read in the past they planned on stamping the cases. Um, what good would this do? Just because a case is found somewhere doesn't necessarily mean anything. Then you also have the whole possibility of someone grabbing some brass at the range and reloading it, and then if they used in a way that was illegal it would be traced back to the original buyer which may or may not have done anything. And then some have said they plan on stamping the bullets themselves. Wow, um that would most likely be unrecognizable once fired as well especially if it ever met a very hard target. So, I ask again, how could this work?
Please do not try to introduce facts and logic into the discussion with legislators - their minds were made up in 2007 when this microstamping bill passed, over all the objections you note, and others.So, I ask again, how could this work?

Extra taxes on a Constitutional right should be able to be defeated.
Tobacco is still a legal product but has been subject to huge state and federal taxes over the last 20 years. The use of alcohol (with certain limitations) is a Constitutional right, yet alcohol like tobacco is highly taxed on many levels.
