Concerned Lawmakers Seek to Stop Online Ammunition Sales

 
NRA-ILA

On May 12, 2015, Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.) introduced H.R. 2283 or the Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2015. According to a report from The Hill (full text of the legislation has not been received by the Government Publishing Office at press time) the bill would require that ammunition sellers be federally licensed, that online ammunition purchasers show a photo identification in-person at an “authorized dealer” in order to take receipt of their orders, and that any purchases of more than 1000 rounds made within five consecutive days be reported to the Attorney General.

  1. I think your title has a typo--you seem to have misspelled "Dumbshit Wannabe Tyrants . . . "

    Anyway, this bill is going nowhere, so there will thanfully be no need for forcible resistance.

  2. The logic of limiting the purchase of ammunition reporting large purchases escapes me. And like most of the sillier laws put forward by politicians who know little of what they are trying to restrict, this will only serve to define their position on the issue and also their ignorance.

    1. Why. Isn't it a problem that bad guys with guns can buy ammo on line with no background check? Is your convenience more important than stopping that?

    2. "Isn't it a problem that bad guys with guns can buy ammo on line with no background check?"

      Why Mike, there is no mention of requiring a background check in either the article you posted or the article cited in your posting. They just want your name if you buy more than say five thousand rounds or so of anything in a month.
      And apparently, the BATF were the ones that asked to get out of that line of work back in the 80's because it didn't work back then either.

      "In 1986, even the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms admitted the failure of federal ammunition regulation. In a February 10, 1986 BATF memo that made it into the House of Representatives hearings report on the Firearm Owners Protection Act, BATF Director Steve Higgins lists the elimination of “Ammunition Licensing and Recordkeeping” as one of the “Positive Aspects” of the bill. The memo states, “The Bureau and the Department have recognized that current recordkeeping requirements for ammunition have no substantial law enforcement value. In addition, their elimination would remove an unnecessary recordkeeping burden from licensees.”

    3. Why don't you at least prove that you can stop bad guys from getting guns before you move on to the ammo?

    4. That's been proven by the Brady Bill.

      Oh, Thank God. Now I can unlock my doors, sell my guns and cancel my alarm subscription now. I have absolutely no need to worry about any armed criminal activity anymore thanks to the Brady Bill. Somehow I was wildly misinformed about criminals illegally obtaining guns. Since the Brady Bill has stopped all of that then we don't need guns or ammo guys. Lets all get rich and sell them back to the government.

      Praise all that's good!

    6. SC, I didn't say any of that. I said gun control laws stop bad guys from getting guns. Not all of them, but some. Isn't that better that what we have now?

    7. Mike, that IS what we have now. And it works?? You have proof??

    1. Funny because it aint got an snowman's chance in Vegas of becoming law.....The not funny part is that once again the filth in Washington waste tax payers money on things they know have no chance of becoming law just to get the chance to say look I did something

    2. Filth in Washington? You live in Nevada, right?

      Prostitution is legal in Nevada. It's a fucking disgrace.

    3. Yes FJ Filth in Washington i.e. The members of the Republican and Democrat parties who masquerade as public servants

      Actually FJ prostitution is only legal in 8 of the 17 Nevada counties and does not include Clark county where aprox 2.03 million of the 2.8 million residents live. And while I find it a less than optimal career choice as you apparently do I support a persons right to choose and since all of the aprox 500 women or .03% of the female population of Nevada at any given time choose freely to engage in that form of commerce no one has any standing to judge them for their choices much like women who engage in a legal abortion... judging is best left to one of the imaginary beings in the sky

      The better question would be why is the state of Nevada discriminating against males by outlawing men from being prostitutes
