Unregistered ammunition? Is that a thing?

And if our communist swamp rats get their way, they would do this to all of us

Imagine how many people from other states visit Arlington National Cemetary each day.

if you plan to intern an urn with ashes, you can’t avoid being in, or at least being by DC.

I don’t remember whether it is in the Steel-Fisted Looney Town, or just on the edge.

Arlington National Cemetery is in Virginia, just the other side of the Potomac river from DC

I get this feeling we are being occupied by our government.

For some years it was national policy to sign a registry when buying ammo. The paperwork was absolutely monumental. That ended in 1986, I believe, under Reagan.
When buying ammo in a store such as WalMart I am sometimes asked if it is for a rifle or pistol. This may simply be a store policy rather than a state requirement. And even then, sometimes they don't ask at all. But you can bet it will become mofe complicated under the current administration.

I’m 71 yrs young, and have never, ever signed anything for ammunition in civilian stores. Had to sign some vouchers when military, but never as a civilian.

Naw, I don't think you're right about that - I'm almost 73, and I don't remember signing anything when I bought ammo before 1986. Besides that, as I've said before, my mom and dad sold ammo through their country grocery store/gas station when I was growing up and into my 30s, and if there would have been any paperwork involved, let alone "monumental" paperwork, I'd have heard about it.

I remember signing a Bound Book for Ammo, which ended under Brady Act (it was a "trade" we got for the onus of the national waiting period--which was ended by NICS).
This did vary by State, though.
And, most FFL just made the customer fill in the Book; it was not an organized From or the like. You'd get griped at for uh-ohs like abbreviations and the like.
It was just one more FFL headache, nothing was sent to any central authorities or the like.

I remember that.
I was about 12. You could buy a handgun without a sig, but had to sign a spiral notebook to buy the ammo...

D.C. has some strange rules regarding ammunition. Even a single loose round can get you in a lot of trouble.

Luckily it was with a work truck and not my "always has ammo and shell casings rolling around it somewhere" truck, but we were doing some surveying work on a highway in Virginia (not sure which anymore) and took the wrong off ramp and boom, nowhere to turn around until we got into DC.

Huge waste of time, but could have been tragic for me in other circumstances
