Of course it's incrementalism. Of course it's an infringement on our rights. Of course it is singling out gun owners for persecution when the same focus should be on the purchase of gasoline by people convicted of DUI (in order to be consistent).
HOWEVER. This is one of the only gun control schemes in california that actually passes federal constitutional muster. It's not a ban. This is 100% allowable under states rights. States have every right to regulate commerce within their borders and that is exactly what this is.
Do I think this will do any good? Yes. The gang bangers and illegal aliens steal our guns and then can go buy ammo without any questions being asked. I've watched this scenario repeated too many times to count. Will they just have their girlfriends buy the ammo FOR them? Of course, and that almost always comes back to bite them.
I also think that this will drive more good people out of California, which I believe is the only solution to living under lists of gun control in CA that is patently UNconstitutional. Have I written off California in terms of ever restoring the 2nd amendment? Not in the long term, but yes in the short term. As you can see, this isn't a "bash" upon California in any way.
