From the article, such a law violates the 2A, and the CA ban on importing ammo violates the Constitution's interstate commerce clause:
A federal judge blocked a California gun law on Thursday that required people to undergo a background check before purchasing ammunition.
U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez in San Diego called the regulations "onerous and convoluted," adding that they violate a citizen's Second Amendment rights, the Associated Press reported.
Benitez ruled in favor of the California Rifle & Pistol Association, which had asked him to halt the background checks with a preliminary injunction.
"The experiment has been tried. The casualties have been counted. California's new ammunition background check law misfires and the Second Amendment rights of California citizens have been gravely injured," Benitez wrote in his 120-page opinion.
"Criminals, tyrants, and terrorists don't do background checks," he added. "The background check experiment defies common sense while unduly and severely burdening the Second Amendment rights of every responsible, gun-owning citizen desiring to lawfully buy ammunition."
Benitez reportedly claimed the law blocked legitimate sales to law-abiding citizens, about 16 percent of the time. He also ruled that California's ban on importing ammo from outside the state violates federal interstate commerce laws.

Congratulations to our CA forum members. And to me. Oregon has a bad habit of trying to mimic everything done in CA. Gun bans, expensive gasoline formulas, carbon taxes, et al. If this ruling stands it's good for all of us living in #ustoo states.

It doesn't work like that. He doesn't get to rule on issues until they come up in his court.

Great news! When will this take affect?

I imagine Calif state has some time to figure out if they will appeal, plus I didn't read the decision, so it's kind of an open but good question.
I did see one vendor say on their website that they were prepping to be able to send ammo (but said they are pretty backed up), but even saying that means some folks are getting ready to do business.
It may be in effect now, but IDK for sure. Maybe there's a contact you can get hold of?

The 9th circuit issued an immediate stay on the ruling the next day. The law is still in effect.
