Let's say that once a year, you apply for and get granted your ammo buying ID that you would have to show each time you purchase ammo.

It's not a perfect plan, but it would stop FELONS and ILLEGALS from buying ammo.

Not quite what I said. I said swipe your DL. Your DL will let a cop know on the side of the road if you have a warrant or if you are a felon. So use it for purchase. I am not for having to jump through hoops to keep a seperate ID like an Illinois Firearms Owner Identification. When you have to have a seperate ID then you are creating an undue burden on the law abiding citizen. Everyone has a state issued ID already so no need to have another card. Just swipe and go. Like getting carded for alcohol or tobacco purchases but swiping the ID. The swipe gives a simple yes or no. It doesn't ask for how much ammo or what caliber. So you would have the same result when you buy a box of .22 as when you buy a case packed in ammo cans of Federal XM855. The system just says yes or no.

In Connecticut... in order to purchase ammo, you must have either a "ammo card"..... which very few people have, OR a "permit to carry pistols and revolvers". With either of these, the salesman at Wallyworld can sell you the ammunition.

That said,........ I felt that the state taking that much control over my life, and my rights.... was too onerous to remain in Connecticut. Which is why I'm a res-eeeee-dent of Hicksville Tennessee. One of many reasons that this Yankee moved to a free state. And no... I will not abide by California or Connecticut STATE law ever again. If necessary... I'll move to Montana, where it is too freakin' cold to live. But at least they are free.
