The new legislation, dubbed the Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act, rests on four pillars, according to Lautenberg's office:
It requires anyone selling ammunition to be a licensed dealer.

It requires ammunition buyers who are not licensed dealers to present photo identification at the time of purchase, effectively banning the online or mail order purchase of ammo by regular civilians.

It requires licensed ammunition dealers to maintain records of the sale of ammunition.

It requires licensed ammunition dealers to report the sale of more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition to an unlicensed person within any five consecutive business days.

That was tried 35 years ago and failed. I remember when I had to go to a firearms counter and present ID and they had to fill out a log book for ammunition sales just to buy a 50 round box of .22LR.

Keep your eyes and ears open. Reloading components will be next.

The White Hut has already said that they are not receptive to the idea of banning online ammo sales. It is a losing issue in an election year. But if 0bama wins, all bets are off.
