Actually, background checks on ammo purchases are a good thing and here's why:
1) Felon's cannot buy guns legally, but ANYONE-felon or not, can walk into any gun store, sporting goods store, Walmart, gun show, etc and BUY ammo without having to show ID or anything, as long as they look 21 or older. Even if they have to show ID to buy the ammo, there is nothing on the ID that says they're a felon, is there?
2) If you passed the background check for buying a gun already, then what's the problem/issue with having the checks apply towards ammo.
3) If the agency that's in charge of this program, linked the background check information together (gun & ammo) then all you would need to show for any purchase is one ID card. Fat chance in that happening though, that would make too much sense.
Let the flames begin.
