White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday that President Obama will "evaluate" a new bill that would ban online ammunition sales in the wake of the shooting massacre in Aurora, Colo. That left 12 dead and dozens more injured.

During the daily press briefing, Mr. Earnest was asked whether Mr. Obama supports the measure, which aims to end sales of unlimited amounts of ammunition on the Internet and other mail orders. The bill also would force ammunition dealers to report large sales of bullets and other munitions to law enforcement authorities

It's not going anywhere. Too many in his own party either hunt or have constituents that would be against Obama's bill.

Yeah, and the rest of the automobile came with the last rear bumper that you purchased. Juvenile word games add nothing to the discourse.

It's not a juvenile word-game; you yourself said that the bullet was a part of the round and that multiple rounds were 'ammunition'.
But the example is reminiscent of some British humor. "I just bought a bumper, sadly it was attached to a Volvo."

“It would come to be known as The Final Straw.”

Yup, a lightning bolt from the ether splitting the Muzzie’s camel...with him riding it...

And personally, I think he is himself the final straw...November 6 should prove to be very interesting...

I buy online, though some of my best shotgun ammo deals have been at gun shows.

I know how to find bills. Pick "Text of Legislation" at your link and you get this...

The text of S.3458 has not yet been received from GPO

Just @as I said...

No bill text yet that I can find.
