Omg!!!!!

How would this proposal apply to online sales? Gunbroker sales?
We honestly don't need anymore regulations.

The red flag would be on you only buying a half case of 7.62!

Inch by inch...

Once you start any kind of background check, it will escalate.

I lived in Australia for ~14 years (before and after their infamous restrictions). You had to present proof for purchase. Proof of actually having the firearm of that caliber. To do that you showed your firearm license listing each firearm you legally owned.

Actually you had to get approval from police department for that specific firearm, issued a temporary license, go to your FFL, pay and take firearm back to police station for them to verify it was the correct firearm and serial number to be listed on your permanent license.

Actually the only legal user of the firearm is the one licensed. You were potentially in violation if someone used your firearm. How ridiculous? I shot targets for awhile. There were husband & wife members with each having licensed shotguns. If hubby was having his shotgun in the shop, he could not legally borrow his wife's to take to a shoot (unless she accompanied him and present while he used it).

Wonder if you can straw purchase ammo? Shame you cannot buy 22LR for your kid. Inch by inch...

Yep, and the people behind this have glorious visions of all sorts of ways they can use it to make shooting as difficult as possible for lawful gun owners.

Yep! And all the while giving Criminals a Break! Laws are for the Law Abiding. Criminals NEVER Obey them. Hate bring up an OLD saying, but here goes!

In no way do I condone any kind of regulations of any kind on firearms or ammo that's isn't already on the books.. And don't agree with half the laws on the books in many states CT,CA,NY for example.

Let's stop dancing around the problem. Our culture has a disease called moral decay. Laws like this are like giving aspirin to someone with a brain tumor. Instead of fixing the underlying problem, it just makes you feel better, temporarily...

Government gets to track how much and what calibers you buy. What could go wrong. Don't register the guns register the ammo. I don't think so!
