The concept of the license requirement to buy ammo is to
get around the NRA supported 2nd Amendment "right" claims. There's an
interpreted "right" to own firearms which is used to ward off any
reasonable gun control legislation and it would take an Act of Congress
to change the wording or interpretation. It will never happen. But,
ammo isn't mentioned in the "right".

BTW, there are already several states that require a license or permit
in order to legally purchase a firearm. There is also at least one
state (mine) that also requires the presentation of a valid and current
gun permit in order to purchase ammunition.

No permit ... no ammo.


You still have not explained how this stops the mass shooters we have
seen. I can't think of any of them who would did not pass a background
check, except the young ones who got the guns and ammo at home from a
parent who did.

The last time I remember a gun show was involved was Columbine, back
in the Clinton administration.

I think I've said several times that it's not perfect and changes won't
happen overnight. It's a start.
