Plain-English Summary

This bill would require ammunition sellers to verify buyers' identities and backgrounds before shipping ammunition orders online, similar to how licensed gun dealers currently operate in stores. The measure aims to prevent criminals and people prohibited from owning firearms from purchasing ammunition through internet sales, which currently have fewer restrictions than in-person purchases. It would affect online retailers, ammunition manufacturers, and anyone who buys ammunition through the internet.
