Let's say that once a year, you apply for and get granted your ammo buying ID that you would have to show each time you purchase ammo.
It's not a perfect plan, but it would stop FELONS and ILLEGALS from buying ammo.

Not quite what I said. I said swipe your DL. Your DL will let a cop know on the side of the road if you have a warrant or if you are a felon. So use it for purchase. I am not for having to jump through hoops to keep a seperate ID like an Illinois Firearms Owner Identification. When you have to have a seperate ID then you are creating an undue burden on the law abiding citizen. Everyone has a state issued ID already so no need to have another card. Just swipe and go. Like getting carded for alcohol or tobacco purchases but swiping the ID. The swipe gives a simple yes or no. It doesn't ask for how much ammo or what caliber. So you would have the same result when you buy a box of .22 as when you buy a case packed in ammo cans of Federal XM855. The system just says yes or no.
