<broken link removed> – Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-12) will introduce a bill in congress Tuesday to place restrictions on the sale of ammunition online.

The bill would require that federally licensed ammunition dealers confirm the identify of their customers by verifying a photo identification and if those customers purchase more than 1,000 rounds within five consecutive days, their identifies would be passed along to the U.S. Attorney General.

"This gives the ability to monitor large ammunition purchases and flag them for law enforcement," said Watson Coleman, speaking at a press conference at the Serenity Garden at the corner of Prospect Street and Bellevue Avenue in Trenton.

"There are plenty of ways that we monitor the purchase of firearms, but when it comes to ammunition regulation seems to stop," Watson Coleman said. "There is nothing keeping an individual intent to commit a large-scale atrocity from rapidly and anonymously stockpiling the means to do so."

So you buy 3 bricks of .22lr at one time (as if that could actually happen today

) and you're passed on to the US Attorney General - for what? You've not committed any crime, well, other than daring to be a citizen utilizing their 2nd amendment rights. Man, these folks are completely deluded. I guess places like SG Ammo will end up turning in just about every single customer since they deal in a lot of bulk ammo purchases.

My guess is this bill won't go anywhere - it's so ridiculous that many legislators won't want to be tied to such a crazy notion, and I think even many of them are at least bright enough to recognize how foolish this idea is.

I wonder what they'll do with reloaders? Are they also going to report bulk buys of bullets? Brass? Primers? Powder? Maybe report the purchase of ammo dies? Scales? Powder Scoops?

Idiots. Just plain idiots. Shame on every voter that continues to allow this type of person to remain in office.
