| − | If ammunition control had passed in California, as it did in the gun-grabbing, high crime, liberal bastion of [[Chicago]], California would have been the first state to pass such draconian law.

| | Despite passing almost unanimously in the [[left-wing]] [[Democrat]] controlled California State [[Legislature]], it was surprisingly vetoed by [[elitist]] [[liberal]] gun collector [[Governor]] [[Jerry Brown]] in 2014. Governor Brown has a long history of voting for, supporting, and as governor in the 1970s and 21st century, signing gun control legislation despite himself being a gun collector. Governor Brown said on his veto that ammunition control would do little to stop crime. | | Despite passing almost unanimously in the [[left-wing]] [[Democrat]] controlled California State [[Legislature]], it was surprisingly vetoed by [[elitist]] [[liberal]] gun collector [[Governor]] [[Jerry Brown]] in 2014.
