New Ammunition Purchase Rules: Limits, Recordkeeping, and Background Checks.
This new law changes ammunition purchase rules to enhance safety. Citizens will undergo identity and background checks before buying ammunition and must adhere to quantity limits. Sellers will be required to maintain more detailed records and report transactions, which may affect ammunition availability and the purchasing process.
Key points
Mandatory identity and criminal background checks for ammunition purchases, similar to firearm sales.
Limits on the amount of ammunition that can be purchased within a five-day period (e.g., 1,000 rounds for most calibers, 100 for .50 caliber).
Ammunition dealers must keep detailed sales records and report transactions to authorities.
Prohibition on straw purchases of ammunition and severe penalties for making false statements.
Requirement for ammunition dealers to hold a federal license, increasing oversight of their operations.
