This legislation aims to significantly increase the regulation of ammunition sales across the United States. It mandates that all individuals or entities engaged in the business of selling ammunition must obtain a federal license , similar to current requirements for firearms dealers. This change extends existing federal oversight to include ammunition sales and distribution. A key provision of the bill requires all ammunition sales to be conducted face-to-face , where the licensed seller must verify the purchaser's identity by examining a valid photo identification document. This effectively prohibits online or remote sales of ammunition to unlicensed individuals. Furthermore, licensed dealers will be required to maintain detailed recordkeeping of all ammunition sales and dispositions. The bill also introduces a new requirement for licensees to report bulk purchases of ammunition, specifically any sale of more than 1,000 rounds to an unlicensed person within five consecutive business days, to the Attorney General and relevant law enforcement agencies. These measures are designed to enhance traceability and oversight of ammunition transactions.
