Ammunition sales would require background checks and be limited to certain amounts.
This bill would require background checks for most ammunition purchases and set limits on how much ammunition a person can buy at once. It would also make it illegal to buy ammunition for someone else who cannot legally have it. These changes would affect ammunition dealers and anyone buying ammunition.
Today, federal law does not require a license to sell only ammunition, nor does it mandate background checks or set limits on bulk ammunition sales. If this bill passes, ammunition dealers would need a federal license, and most ammunition purchases from them would require a background check and be limited to 100 rounds of .50 caliber or 1,000 rounds of other types within a five-day period.
