Federal bill for ammo control would ban online sales
Bearing Arms website ^ | 02/22/2023 | tom Knighton

Posted on 02/23/2023 7:35:11 AM PST by RicocheT

Literally named the “Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2023,” the measure was filed last month in Congress by U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, a New Jersey Democrat. Coleman was endorsed for office last fall by national anti-gun groups including billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown organization.

“The Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act is one step in the right direction to slowing the proliferation of guns and ammunition,” said Watson Coleman in a statement.

The proposal would establish the licensing of ammunition dealers who then would be required to confirm the identity of customers seeking to purchase ammo by verifying a valid photo I.D. in person. As such, it would place a prohibition on the current widespread practice of buying ammo online and having it shipped directly to the customer’s door.

During the shotgun shell shortage during the COVID shutdown, the ammo I needed to shoot my skeet hobby was only available to me online. Federal had 12 gage #8 online.

Another name for the long list of Democrats to be prosecuted for conspiracy to deprive civil rights under color of law.

From Wikipedia

Watson Coleman's two sons, William Carter-Watson and Jared C. Coleman, pleaded guilty to holding up the Kids "R" Us store at Mercer Mall with a handgun as it was about to close on March 12, 2001; they were sentenced to seven years in prison and served 5+1⁄2 years. Watson Coleman has acknowledged it in the past and introduced legislation "that bars companies with more than 15 employees to conduct criminal background checks on candidates during the interview process". She argued for the law, saying, "One of the greatest barriers to a second chance in the state of New Jersey is a barrier to employment”; it was later passed and signed into law.

Bill sponsored by Academy and Dicks sporting goods so they can jack up prices.

This would do zero to stop crime. Assuming I am a criminal, I’d buy my ammo with cash at some store 100 miles away.

I sure wouldn’t buy from an online retailer who would ship to my home and have my credit card.

Literally the antithesis of useful. This is just to make hunting and gun sports more expensive.

They aren’t stupid.

Take away the ammo, or make it impossibly expensive, and they achieve their desired end.

The only way to buy Tokarev ammo seems to be online.

Assuming I am a criminal

You wouldn't buy case-quantities of ammunition in the first place.

Seriously.

A few years ago, I read a report on crooks and guns, which contained the following interesting bits:

1) Criminals are frequently arrested with guns that are NOT loaded to capacity. And it isn't because they just fired a few shots while committing a crime.

2) Criminals are frequently arrested with guns containing mismatched cartridges.

3) Criminals rarely practice with their weapons. This may explain their abysmal marksmanship.

4) Criminals are frequently arrested with guns that are in poor condition.

From this it is clear that attempts to limit the purchase of large quantities of ammunition are aimed at citizens, not criminals.

There are many "boutique" loads that are only available from online suppliers. The demand is too low for a major retailer to stock. It is beyond stupid to prevent online sales.

I haven't set foot in Dick's since their brain dead assault on AR 15 purchasers. There is nothing in their stores that can't be ordered from Amazon or acquired from another retailer.

As everyone knows a firearm is useless without ammo.

Although I might use a bayonet or the gun used as a club.

THIS from the Congress Critter that has not one, but TWO Felons for sons? ARMED ROBBERY of a toy store!

She’s got balls, that’s for sure! Make sure only the criminals have ammo, not the Store Owners being robbed!

Hoping it goes nowhere. We’ve been lucky to get what we need, locally, though prices are obscene. It’s Flyover Country. Everyone has/needs/uses guns.

If anyone has the chance to comment on this proposal use the progs’ own language.

“As a wealthy white well armed man I support this bill 100%. Blacks, Latinx, transgendered should not have easy access to ammo and firearms. There is nothing more threatening to me, as a white male, then an armed BIPOC transgender. ANY rule, law, or regulation that makes it harder for those people to exercise their inalienable right to self defense is better for society.”

The left wants to ban everything except being queer. That they intend to make mandatory.
