Lautenberg’s ammo ban bill would strip away long-standing privacy protections

[JohnPierce]

The bill would be an absolute nightmare for gun owers. It would require that all ammunition sales occur ‘in person’, effectively ending online sales of ammo. But that is not all. Under the bill, private sales of ammunition would be completely banned while ammunition sellers would be subject to the same licensure and regulation that is currently required only of manufacturers and importers.

It requires the seller to report any cumulative purchases by the same individual over a 5 day period that totals more than 1,000 rounds. Well how would they do this? What possible method could they use to insure that they knew when a given customer’s cumulative purchases over the course of 5 days total more than 1,000 rounds?

Under the Bill do purchasers have to keep track of their purchases to make sure they do not go over the limit?

The NRA gets a lot of donations through "round up" programs such as with MidwayUSA. I find it hard to believe that anything that would adversely effect the NRA or its financial supporters would have much of a chance to succeed.

I doubt the bill ever makes it out of committee.

No.

Agreed. But it shows the mindset of those who are arrayed against gun rights.
