Jaime’s Law

Jaime's Law requires background checks for ammunition purchases by adding new rules to federal gun laws. It mandates that unlicensed individuals cannot directly transfer ammunition; instead, a licensed dealer must first take possession of the ammunition and complete a background check before the transfer can occur. The law includes exceptions for law enforcement, family transfers (like between spouses or parents and children), estate transfers, emergency situations, and transfers for hunting or shooting at designated ranges. It does not create a national ammunition registry and allows states to maintain their own laws on this topic.
