…or trying to do that, anyway:
Reps. Kweisi Mfume (D-MD) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) announced Friday their re-introduction of legislation to limit the online sale of ammunition.
A press release from Mfume’s office indicates the bill, called the Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act, “would require federally licensed ammunition dealers to confirm the identity of individuals who arrange to purchase ammunition over the internet by verifying a photo I.D. in person.”
The legislation would “also require ammunition vendors to report any sales of more than 1,000 rounds within five consecutive days to the U.S. Attorney General, if the person purchasing ammunition is not a licensed dealer.”
At least they’re being honest, for once, about their goal: “Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act” and not some “Protect Citizens From Violence” and such twaddle.
And they trot out the tired old arguments about “mass shootings” and all the other bogeymen, not one of which have stopped, or would / could stop any such Bad Things from happening in the future.
Which of course just makes me want to post a few links:
Ammo.com, Ammunition Depot, Bulk Ammo, Lucky Gunner, etc… you have your own favorites, no doubt.
