That didn't take long. It appears the Democrats are going after online ammo sales. If you can't show a picture ID when you order you can't order at all. Even if you're a dealer you can't order more than 1k without being reported and going on a list.

Isn't there already a thread on this somewhere? Someone post up some numbers to call...all this will do is make more money for the greedy. With competition of online sales prices are reasonable, without it they can charge whatever they want. The dang academy is selling PMags in my area for $22 a piece when I can get them offline for $12 on average. You see my point here?
 
Another really, really stoopid law.

Let's see, I can't order ammo online, where I have to give my name and address and credit card number, because they don't know who's buying ammo. However, I can walk into a local retail store, lay down cash, and walk out with as much ammo as I can put on a dolly and no one knows who I am at all. Makes perrrrrrrfect sense to me.

Where do these idiots think up these things?
 
Solution to a non-existent problem. Ever notice how the government wants to focus on problems such as this and not real problems?

Watch your lane.
 
That’s been Lautenberg's his entire career, he has not accomplished anything else for the state of NJ but he is good at sounding the alarm bell for this….
 
It's not public safety they are concerned about. Walmart, Academy and other big box stores don't want competition from online vendors. Weapons control has never been about safety and it will never will be about public safety.
 
TennJed:

Even though many of us find it nothing but a cheap, transparent idea to allow more govt. control, let's not forget the other side of the coin.
Let's remember who could benefit from persuasive talk about such impending bills.

Many comments about this in the months before the election will come from retail gun shops, on-line ammo distributors, or anybody who wants to make more profits on ammo $ales.

Such talk about guns allowed nice profits after the last election, but in that case the really astute gun owners (the opposite of the herds of sheep) knew quite well that the new White House team needed almost all of their political capital (public support) for the ObamaCare.
And their strategy worked quite well. The question now is to anticipate what-IF he is reelected-will require most of his diminishing political capital.

I had to scan and upload a copy of my license to Aim Surplus the first time I ordered ammo from them.
I find the proposed restrictions foolish and of course they won't prevent a single crime from occurring, but really, so what?
Don't you currently have to be 18 to buy rifle ammo and 21 for handgun ammo?
I'm not saying it's a reasonable law, I'm just saying that I can't see how it's really that much of a concern, that it would really change anything anyway.

YES!!

I hope they invest a TON of political capital trying to get this passed.

If so, they will get beaten like a drum in Congress.
