Here we go. Hard enough finding ammo last hunting season, now we may have to furnish ID and a background check for all ammo, if this passes?

i havent shown my ID to vote as the people at the polls know me. as for being called to arms, that is why we have the military. when the 2nd amendment was written the people were the militia. that no longer applies. most people only read the part of the 2nd amendment that says right to bear arms. read the whole thing.
Wrong again. The militia is still the people, and with our military shrinking more and more everyday, we may need it in the near future more and more.
mi·li·tia
a military force that is raised from the civil population to supplement a regular army in an emergency.
  • a military force that engages in rebel or terrorist activities in opposition to a regular army.

Yep, take the people out and they have complete control, which seems to be what so many want.

I know several felons who are free but should not have guns. They should not have ammo either. And we have the Draft to draft civilians into the proper military should the need arise. We do not need "organized militias" and those things are just thinly veiled domestic terrorist groups when it comes right down to it

If the Criminals are getting guns illegally they will also be able to get ammo illegally.

Lots of law abiding citizens have unregistered weapons at their disposal also…As with all Government Regulations and laws there are LOOPHOLES within!!! Criminals have the upper hand nowadays because no body seems to care,JUDGES,DA,COURT SYSTEM,they are better protected than the ordinary citizens with the best lawyers that again find a loophole and were the the ones paying there lawyer bills.They get released and there right back to business as usual no harm done!!!

i worked in a county prison for 33 years. the revolving door stories are true. they come and go, come and go. they laugh at the gun charges because the DA usually drops that charge in exchange for a plea to the lesser charges. no trial, fast clearance rate, and a conviction for the stats.

Our Government is slowly making America an exact parallel of Communist China. Even lifelong Democrats better wake up before it's to late.

No it doesn't mean the felons have guns. It just means they should not. In my opinion they should not. Nor should they have ammo. My point was there are people walking free who should not have access to these things. I can't believe I have to keep explaining this

I have no problem showing id as I have to already. I will not pay for a background check for ammo. The question is what problem are we trying to solve with a background check? Illegal weapons do not get purchased at the store and adding ammo to the list will only be the same. Putting more controls on law abiding citizens does not solve the criminal side. We have enough rules in place already that apparently do not work. Think back to the last few years and how hard it has been to get ammo. Supply issues. Democrat comes into office and.gun sales go through the roof due to fear. Ammo hoarding happens. If we are all innocent until proven guilty then why the need for the background check? Again what problem do they think they are solving?
Yes fear is a powerful motivator. The sad part is so many fall for it every so many years. I was told Carter was coming after my guns, Than it was Clinton and Obama and now Biden.
Kennedy was shot and no new laws were created. However when Reagan was shot at we ended up with the Brady law. So who is coming for my guns?

Well one thing that is accomplished by requiring a background check is it raises the cost of ammo on the bad actors. It also can be used to find the enablers and reduce that number. It will not harm law abiding citizens unless you are harmed by a few min. wait.
The only problem with our gun laws is neither side of the isle wants to be the adult in the room and enforce the laws we have on the books. It serves them best to point the finger at the other without any action other than words. But you are correct we cause our own shortages due to fear time and time again. Waugh!

Define mass shooting.
A shooting during church services. Waugh!
Not everyone should have a case of beer, and that is evident by the number of DUI accidents and deaths, so everyone shouldn't be able to buy booze. This is another reach and grab for no reason other than to get to the final goal, disarming the public or we would see this same logic applied across the board for everything.
Since sober drivers kill more people and have more accidents maybe they should be required to be drunk before driving. See how stats lie. Waugh!
