I support ammo background checks

WAKE UP EL!

This is only about felons in the sense that they want to make YOU a felon so they can strip you of YOUR guns. They bend over backwards to thwart bringing actual criminals to justice. They see YOU as their enemy, not actual criminals.

They want to find every possible means of criminalizing gun owners, and doing it in a manner that many gun owners actually go along with them until it's too late.

They are waking up to the fact that with 300 million guns in America, they have zero chance of confiscating all of them. But if they can find a way to choke off the supply of ammunition, then the guns will be useless.

WAKE UP!

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.[/QUOTE]

You mean like the current gun laws stop them from buying guns? Or the current driving laws stop them from driving? Or the current murder laws stop them from murdering? Or the current drug laws stop trafficking?

Exactly, this would only affect legal buyers and would also create a HUGE black market for ammo. Criminals will have ammo, and not pay more like we would have to. Notice it failed in New York

Don't bother me none.... I reload for all the calibers of the firearms that I USED to have before my boat sank on Old Hickory lake. Gee... I don't own no guns no more.....they all went down with the ship... (sarcasm abounds this afternoon)

This^^^^

Plus, I'm sorry Mr. Skosh but you've exceeded your ammo quota for the month. BTW, why do you need 1000 rounds of ammo? Planning on going on a killing spree?

Also Mr. Skosh, due to the overabundance of murders committed by blunt instruments such as hammers and baseball bats you're going to have to register all of your hardware and sporting goods purchase.. And we need to check to make sure you are eligible to purchase those kitchen knives...

Any other reasons needed why ammo background checks SUCK?!!!!

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.

In Connecticut... in order to purchase ammo, you must have either a "ammo card"..... which very few people have, OR a "permit to carry pistols and revolvers". With either of these, the salesman at Wallyworld can sell you the ammunition.

That said,........ I felt that the state taking that much control over my life, and my rights.... was too onerous to remain in Connecticut. Which is why I'm a res-eeeee-dent of Hicksville Tennessee. One of many reasons that this Yankee moved to a free state. And no... I will not abide by California or Connecticut STATE law ever again. If necessary... I'll move to Montana, where it is too freakin' cold to live. But at least they are free.

Last time I bought a gun in a store with a concealed license I had to wait 4 freaking hours for the background check.

What the controllers would say: You can have a card today and be a felon tomorrow, El, so you still need the check.

and then this would justify more government paper pushers to process these requests

and higher prices because you need to compensate the loss

and then, as you and others well noticed, this would stop nothing.

Just more laws and control in a country that cannot enforce the EXISTING laws... or controls chit for that matter, from borders to drugs.
