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.

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.

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.
