The AMMO Act aims to prevent bulk sales of ammunition, end straw purchasing, and require background checks for certain ammunition transfers.
The AMMO Act, or Ammunition Modernization and Monitoring Oversight Act, amends the Federal criminal code to impose stricter regulations on ammunition sales. It mandates that licensed dealers, importers, and manufacturers must conduct background checks before transferring ammunition to unlicensed individuals. The Act also prohibits the sale of more than 100 rounds of.50 caliber ammunition or 1,000 rounds of any other caliber in a five-day period. Repeat offenders face escalating fines and potential revocation of their licenses.
