I support ammo background checks

[skosh69]

I already gave my reasons in 's thread, but in case you missed it, here's why I support ammo purchase background checks:


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, which now applies to both rifle and pistol, 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.

4) Will background checks for ammo stop the bad guys or good guys from obtaining ammo, NO. Because ammo purchases can and will still be completed via private purchase through face to face meet ups in parking lots and other places because ammo sales ads from online websites, like this place for instance.

5) This proposed law will only slow/stop ammo purchases by felons and such from stores and other legal places as I stated earlier, see comment #1.

Let the flames begin.
