AMMO Act

S 2191, the AMMO Act, creates new federal regulations for ammunition sales. It requires background checks before selling ammunition to non-licensees, limits bulk purchases to 100 rounds of .50 caliber or 1,000 rounds of other caliber within a 5-day period, and mandates written certification from purchasers. Licensed dealers must keep records of ammunition sales for two years and display signage about these requirements. The bill establishes penalties for violations, including fines up to $250,000 for repeated offenses. These changes apply to all licensed ammunition dealers and purchasers in the United States.
