House Democrats are introducing legislation that will “place limits and safeguards on the online market for ammunition.”
Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-N.J., announced this week the Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2015, which would require face-to-face purchases.
In a statement, she referenced the 2012 Colorado theater shooting where 12 people were killed and 70 others injured.
“This bill would take the most basic steps to slow the proliferation of guns and ammunition, helping to prevent events like what we saw in Aurora, Colorado three years ago,” she said in a statement. “Congress can, and must do more to keep our families safe, and we’re urging them to do just that.”
The statement from the congresswoman’s office reveals that consumers can still purchase ammunition online, but federally licensed ammunitions dealers would need to confirm the identity of individuals by verifying a photo I.D. in-person.
“The bill 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,” the statement reads.
“There are plenty of ways we monitor the purchase of firearms but when it comes to ammunition, regulation seems to stop,” Watson Coleman said at a press conference Monday, according to The Trentonian. “There is nothing keeping an individual intending to commit a large-scale atrocity from rapidly and anonymously stockpiling the needs to do so.”
Rep. Donald Payne, D-N.J., calls it “common-sense reform.”
“Too many lives have been lost as a result of senseless gun violence, and it’s well past time for Congress to enact sensible gun safety measures like reducing unchecked online ammunition purchases,” Payne, an original cosponsor of the bill, said. “This common-sense reform would save lives by depriving violent criminals of a means of anonymously amassing ammunition without proper scrutiny. As a cosponsor of this legislation, I am proud to join Congresswoman Watson Coleman in taking proactive steps to reduce gun violence and prevent another tragedy.”
The Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence and the Newtown Action Alliance have endorsed the bill.
Always remember that the intended victims of these media scumbags, academic slime, celebrity air heads, petty tyrants, and political hacks will have the last and final vote. That victim’s vote is called “Rule .308”. When the intended victims start taking bites out of the corrupt population by rendering it room temperature, the other unaffected corrupt members of the population will pay attention. No one has ever been able to explain to me how the retribution inflicted on the tormentors by their victims will stop once it is unleashed.

UnConstitutional on its face.
However, the Republicans have morphed into Democrats.
So this could easily become law.
Heck, Obama might just Executive Order it into law.
The gimmick: If they can see your face, a camera can also see your face, which is increasingly common in stores. So they have proof of how much ammo you have purchased.
Have any mass shootings occurred in NJ lately? I think these slimeball politicians should be restricted from commenting on any subjects that do not pertain to the affairs of their home state. They want to restrict the 2A? How about some limits on their 1A? ;)
Alright, who do we contact and where? Where`s that face-palm picture with the guy asking, ‘Not this sh!t again?’, when you need it?
Get Bennett and every vulnerable Dem House member to sign on to this.
There’s no intention to pass the bill. They’re trying to help their cronies to run prices up again. Fine. I’ll put off purchases. After the market collapses ahead, those prices will come down.
It should be Illegal for Democrats and Liberals to utter the Phrase “Common Sense”. It drips of Irony.

I went into Dicks today on on the off chance they had some 5.56.
No such luck. And that’s what the Democrats are shooting for.
Exactly, I’ve only seen the 5.7mm I need for my ps90 in a store once...and it wasn’t nearby.
I really hate such blatant lies to justify anti-gun schemes.
Nobody walks around with hundreds of rounds and dozens of magazines full of bullets. Specifically you cannot point to anyone who’s done any kind of attack that has had the amount of ammo these idiots are discussing. It just does not happen.
Even the stuff they do have, they never get through it all. They are stopped by a CCW holder, or a cop.
Or they take themselves out before getting through all they have.
