Buying ammo? DENIED! With California's new laws. I can buy a gun but not ammo!

Today July 2, 2019 I was DENIED when trying to purchasing ammunition.

Crazy California laws have made it where you can buy a gun but not the bullets and ammunition to shoot it, is this a good thing?

Need to Pass a Background Check to Buy Ammo in CA?
Starting July 1 of 2019, you must meet the following criteria to purchase ammunition in California:
* Be a current resident of California
* Pass “Eligibility Check” aka Background check
* Be 21 years of age or older to purchase handgun ammunition
* Be 18 years of age or older to purchase rifle or shotgun ammunition
On July 1st of 2019 phase 2 of Proposition 63 begins and applies to gun stores and gun shows throughout the state. At this point ammunition sales require a $1 fee (paid by you of course) for a point-of-sale background check, or eligibility check as the DOJ calls it.

The DOJ says the check should take 60-90 seconds, there is no wait period beyond that

What Does the Law Say Specifically on Ammunition Purchases?
Want to read and interpret the law yourself? Here is the actual Penal Code section 30370:
(a) Commencing July 1, 2019, the department shall electronically approve the purchase or transfer of ammunition through a vendor, as defined in Section 16151, except as otherwise specified. This approval shall occur at the time of purchase or transfer, prior to the purchaser or transferee taking possession of the ammunition. Pursuant to the authorization specified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 30352, the following persons are authorized to purchase ammunition:
1) A purchaser or transferee whose information matches an entry in the Automated Firearms System (AFS) and who is eligible to possess ammunition as specified in subdivision (b). (2) A purchaser or transferee who has a current certificate of eligibility issued by the department pursuant to Section 26710. (3) A purchaser or transferee who is not prohibited from purchasing or possessing ammunition in a single ammunition transaction or purchase made pursuant to the procedure developed pursuant to subdivision (c). (b) To determine if the purchaser or transferee is eligible to purchase or possess ammunition pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), the department shall cross-reference the ammunition purchaser’s or transferee’s name, date of birth, current address, and driver’s license or other government identification number, as described in Section 28180, with the information maintained in the AFS. If the purchaser’s or transferee’s information does not match an AFS entry, the transaction shall be denied. If the purchaser’s or transferee’s information matches an AFS entry, the department shall determine if the purchaser or transferee falls within a class of persons who are prohibited from owning or possessing ammunition by cross-referencing with the Prohibited Armed Persons File. If the purchaser or transferee is prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm, the transaction shall be denied.
(c) The department shall develop a procedure in which a person who is not prohibited from purchasing or possessing ammunition may be approved for a single ammunition transaction or purchase. The department shall recover the cost of processing and regulatory and enforcement activities related to this section by charging the ammunition transaction or purchase applicant a fee not to exceed the fee charged for the department’s Dealers’ Record of Sale (DROS) process, as described in Section 28225 and not to exceed the department’s reasonable costs.
(d) A vendor is prohibited from providing a purchaser or transferee ammunition without department approval. If a vendor cannot electronically verify a person’s eligibility to purchase or possess ammunition via an Internet connection, the department shall provide a telephone line to verify eligibility. This option is available to ammunition vendors who can demonstrate legitimate geographical and telecommunications limitations in submitting the information electronically and who are approved by the department to use the telephone line verification.

g) The Department of Justice is authorized to adopt regulations to implement this section.
